After a search for coverage of the band, its members, or its works; I've not found in-depth, reliable, independent, sources. I don't think it ticks any of the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles. Anybody else want to give it a go? Let's discuss.

Comment: this was created by a SPA back in 2016 who stated that they were working with Donnie Vie to create pages for everything related to him and his bands [1]. A quick look at their contributions suggests that this article and absolutely everything else they created fails WP:GNG, but I'll need to have a proper look. The four-track live album and solitary single appear to be only only things the band ever released. Richard3120 (talk) 17:05, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the exceessive unsourced detail suggests this article is here for the wrong reasons. The band was briefly active quite recently in historical terms, so if there was coverage, it should be available. Neither does V8 seem to have released any notable recordings. The two main members seem to have been so prolific, there is barely a mention of V8 in the occasional articles about them. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 19:05, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
