No evidence of this band meeting WP:GNG/WP:NBAND. Nothing much online, though there may be more in print that I can't access.  Anarchyte ( talk  &#124;  work )  13:44, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment in this version of the article here there were quite a few reviews listed and some interviews but I'm not familiar with these sources except one that could be Classic Rock which is an rs but it is a dead link, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:43, 23 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment In the article John Miner (musician), there's a section of "Discussions and critical analysis", which are external links to reviews, etc. Someone needs to go through those (and the reviews in the earlier version of this article which Atlantic306 noted), and add the reliable, independent sources as proper references with inline citations. It may be that both John Miner and Art Rock Circus are notable, or only one of them, but until the existing sources (included as external links) have been reviewed, and a search for others done, it won't be possible to tell which is notable and which could be redirected or merged to the other.

 * Most of the websites in that section focus more on Art Rock Circus than John Miner, though I'm wary of the reliability of some. ProGGnosis is a fan site and their review doesn't leave a name. ProgressoR is similar; "a 2-man crew of enthusiasts". Prog-Nose is another fan site, but they at least list their members. This site doesn't have an 'about us' page, unless I can't find it. I'm not sure what to make of Music Street Journal. Their about page is hideous (and doesn't tell us anything). Prog Archives is "a small group of fanatic progressive rock music collectors". The reviewer in the Sea of Tranquility article isn't listed on their staff page. Progressive World put the word "staff" in quotations on their 'about us' page. They also call it a "vanity site". If you agree with my interpretation of the reliability of these sources, we're left with one long album review, one short review, and an artist page with two more short reviews (one, two). None of these talk about John Miner in detail.  Anarchyte ( talk  &#124;  work )  03:02, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
