One non-notable release, lacks depth of coverage fails WP:GNG and WP:NBAND Flat Out (talk) 05:19, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's bits and pieces out there. My first thought was a clear keep but then a quick short came up short. Best coverage out there appears to be in relation to being Mulatu Astatke's backing band so at the least there should be a redirect/smerge to his article. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:25, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Support redirect - duffbeerforme I'm happy to support a redirect, I can't find much to support notability in own right. Flat Out (talk) 01:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. The ensemble have issued four albums, they have won music awards, they have been described in several independent reliable sources, they have been featured on nationally broadcast TV and radio segments. I have now added some refs, and beefed up a little of the content.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:37, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment Still don't appear to meet WP:NBAND. One of the sources is about Mulatu Astatke, the award is not a recognised national music award (The Age newspaper), one of the sources is a passing mention only. Outside of their work with Mulatu Astatke there's nothing of note. I woudl support a redirect to Mulatu Astatke. Flat Out (talk) 01:46, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. I believe existing sources show subject meets NBAND#1, NBAND#11, NBAND#12. International performances and recognition: 1, 2, 3 and a national tour (see The Age award for same) meets NBAND#4. Prominent representatives of ethio-jazz in Australia: 1 which meets NBAND#7. Could be kept, even if one criterion is met.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 02:21, 8 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep as outlined by the article now satisfies WP:NBAND, with sufficient references that support it's notability. Dan arndt (talk) 01:35, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
