Blimey, you'd think this band was as big as Metallica or something. Massive Vanity piece for Non notable band. "Awards" are not major. Claim charting is not GOODCHARTS. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Article is bombarded with multiple sources but none are independent reliable sources with any depth of coverage of the band. Lot's of blogsites, youtube and facebook and similar non notable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:43, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a weak point of wiki, that if one person hasn't heard of a wiki article subject. It can quickly be put on the deletion block. There are many of us, we can take care of the stated problems with the article. naninnewetuah (talk) 21:39, 01 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. This seems to pass WP:GNG but requires a clear re-write to suit WP:NPOV Germcrow (talk) 06:06, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:VAGUEWAVE. Seems? How does it pass. duffbeerforme (talk) 01:14, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- WP:VAGUEWAVE. Which sources are good? duffbeerforme (talk) 01:14, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Germcrow, Laosilika... duffbeerforme is right – there might well be a lot of references in the article, but not one of the 62 citations passes WP:RS. The links to the band's own Facebook and YouTube sites are not independent and fail WP:RSSELF, as do the various metal blogs. The only site which would be considered reliable is Sputnikmusic, but the review on this site is from a user, not a member of staff, so it's not usable either. We'd be happy to rewrite it, but without any acceptable sources, it's going to be impossible to do so. Richard3120 (talk) 01:33, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete - does not meet WP:BAND - no notable recordings - most of the references are to YouTube and Facebook, not to reliable independent sources - blatantly promotional article - some sections lack any citations - Epinoia (talk) 03:13, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
