Barry and the Penetrators

This article appears to fail WP:NBAND. Band's discography was mainly self-released, the only reference present in the article is obviously not independent of the subject and I was unable to find significant coverage in independent reliable sources for it to clear WP:GNG.

 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. No reliable independent sources found, and I can't find any indication that they headlined a major gig, just performing as support act to bigger names when they toured New Jersey. Gigs since 2015 seem to be extremely sporadic, suggesting that the band is no longer a priority. Virtually the entire text is WP:COPYVIO from the band's own website, anyway and therefore should be deleted as soon as possible. Richard3120 (talk) 18:24, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete (even though article has been up for 7 years). Violates WP policies by just being cut and paste text from their website. Overtly promotional. ShelbyMarion (talk) 00:57, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as per ShelbyMarion, it is a WP:COPYVIO--Rusf10 (talk) 03:43, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Reduce to a stub until someone with an account at Newspapers.com can provide sources (search). - NorthPark1417 (talk) 11:54, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That's a blog, so it can't be used for the article – so how are you going to create a stub with no reliable sources? Richard3120 (talk) 16:21, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * If you want someone to check Newspapers.com (I suspect all 300 hits are gig listings), try one of these editors: Category:Wikipedians who have access to Newspapers.com. Richard3120 (talk) 19:06, 6 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete- I agree this should be deleted. Fails GNG. I searched the Google database for mentions in the "News" and "Books (Magazine)". I only found two sources that only mention the band but it is not enough to place on the article. They don't have significant coverage on their music other than store links.
