Vaultry[edit]

Semi-advertorialized article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage to carry an article. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform, so every band is not automatically entitled to have an article on here just because they exist -- but nothing here passes any of the notability criteria for bands, and the referencing is entirely to blogs and podcasts and their own social networking profiles, not to real media that would help get them over WP:GNG.

Undecided - I don't think you can condemn all of the sources in the article as merely podcasts and social networking. The following appear to be reliable and independent of the band: [1], [2], [3], [4]. However those are still fairly obscure and spotty, so I am undecided on whether they qualify as significant in the notability guidelines. But the arguments in Bearcat's nomination may not reflect the situation. On the other hand, if the article is kept it definitely needs to be pared down to verifiable facts. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 23:26, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I disagree that the 4 sources cited by DOOMSDAYER520 indicate reliable coverage. Sources 1 and 4 are run-of-the-mills quasi-promo paragraphs or two of upcoming appearances/releases (authorship of #4 is credited not to a writer, but rather “victoriamusicscene.”) Source #2 is radio station’s website with a Band of the Month profile (credited to “Webmesiter Bud”) wherein the text is paraphrased content from the “about” section on the band’s website. Source #3 is emphatically not a reliable source; they solicit content per their “contact” section: https://www.unfazedmag.com/contact-1/ Other sources in the article, per the nominator’s comment, similarly fail.
