Insufficient sources to meet notability criteria. -- MA SHAUN IX 19:38, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete ^None of those are reliable sources and this article is more of a promotion of The Gadjits. Merge if you must.Trillfendi (talk) 23:54, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Nonsense, they're all reliable sources. --Michig (talk) 07:07, 9 November 2018 (UTC) Let's see: Allmusic, an established reliable source, Alternative Press, a magazine established for over 30 years, Deseret News, Summit Daily, The Trentonian, The Pitch, and Tucson Weekly - newspapers are generally accepted as reliable sources. And why would this article be here to promote a band that split up 14 years ago? --Michig (talk) 07:40, 9 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep but Clean Up- The sources found by Michig are solid enough to support a stub article at least. The problem though is that this article on The Architects currently says almost nothing about them and instead discusses their predecessor band. That seriously needs to be fixed, but The Architects have achieved some basic notability. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 14:21, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: I agree with Michig and Doomsdayer 520... the article needs a total rewrite, but Michig has demonstrated that there are plenty of reliable sources available, and one of their albums has been briefly reviewed in Spin as well – this is more than just a local Missouri band.

 * Keep -- Not sure what nom means by "insufficient sources." There are sufficient sources to establish notability.  Besides the ones found in the "External Links" section of the article I found this article from the Tucson Weekly (which might be dismissed as local coverage except the band is not from Tucson, this article from Ink, and this interview on public radio.
