A band of no objectively provable notability. Guy (Help!) 09:42, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I looked at the linked album articles. By doing so I found the following already linked: [1], [2] and [3] at AllMusic and the Supreme Chaos review has multiple RSes. Also, AllMusic has a band bio. So just with that they clearly meet GNG let alone WP:MUSICBIO. All that is without performing an Internet search, which is stated by WP:BEFORE. [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10] and several at [11]. Those were gleaned from the first fifty results of the Google search linked above. In short, this article and the linked album articles should be improved, but not deleted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:18, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak keep as this seems acceptable coverage and I haven't even started searching myself. Pinging past commenters Jayron32 and Amatulic. SwisterTwister talk 06:00, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see a brief band bio (which isn't exactly "coverage", it's just a listing) in Allmusic as conferring notability, in the same way that Wikipedia doesn't consider a wine review in Wine Spectator to confer notability. That's the purpose of the publication, they review thousands of wines each year, so just about any non-notable wine will be reviewed eventually. I see Allmusic the same way. That said, while some of the sources Walter Gorlitz listed are ridiculous (directory listings, poster, etc.), there's a Billboard chart link, which does count for a lot and definitely meets WP:BAND. So yeah, keep and improve. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
keep per sources found by Walter above. --Jayron 32 12:35, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
