Largely unsourced, does not meet notability criteria. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 06:30, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no coverage for this group in independent reliable sources; appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:BAND. gongshow talk 09:26, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing here passes any WP:NMUSIC criterion, and there's no evidence of the reliable source media coverage required to pass WP:GNG in lieu — the only references here are a primary source and a WordPress blog, which are not notability-assisting sources. As always, Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform for aspiring wannabes — making it big comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not vice versa. Note I'm also adding their two albums which also have separate articles, as they will also have to go if this does. Bearcat (talk) 20:54, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Not notable. Only 63 followers on soundcloud! Abrasapuentes (talk) 22:20, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we don't measure notability by counting social media followers per se — we measure it by the volume of reliable source media coverage that can or can't be shown, not by how many followers they do or don't have on Facebook or Twitter or Soundcloud or YouTube. But it does point in the direction of their not being particularly well-known — it's just not the determining factor in and of itself. Bearcat (talk) 15:02, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Not finding significant coverage in RS for the band or its albums that are also nominated for deletion herein. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:51, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
