The musicians discussed in this article do not meet the criteria for notability in music as outlined in Wikipedia's guidelines. All reliable source coverage listed is local. WP:BAND and WP:MUSICBIO criteria are not met. The article is biased, it is written as though it were trying to advertise for or promote the musicians discussed within. The musicians themselves have no strong claim and very little regional/international renown. InspectorMikeChin (talk) 04:31, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nominator has nominated a few articles based on a false understanding of the guidelines. Local coverage does not preclude a band being notable, and they are covered in national newspaper like The Straits Times - [1][2]. They argument that coverage of the band is only local is in any case clearly false, as they have in fact being covered outside Singapore - [3][4][5]. Please note that it is necessary to perform a check for sources first before nominating an article for deletion per WP:BEFORE. Hzh (talk) 11:27, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : Irrespective of the nominator's record in AfDs, of which I'm not aware, the text of the article is/was full of promotional verbiage. I tried to somewhat salvage it. -The Gnome (talk) 14:54, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as Hzh has identified significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as The Strait Times which shows the subject passes WP:NMUSIC as well as WP:GNG and the Gnome has removed the promotional content, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 18:21, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
