Boston 8-Bit

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Appears to be a non-notable, long defunct music group that fails the WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. The only sources listed in the article do not appear to be valid significant coverage in reliable sources, being things like interviews in local news sources and blog/myspace entries. Doing my own searches did not turn up any coverage on this group in reliable sources at all. Rorshacma (talk) 21:36, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep according to this here they were still going in 2022. References in the article are a newspaper article and a newspaper-blog article. Newspaper blogs are the kind that are acceptable as reliable sources, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:01, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - Even if the newspaper blog were to be considered a reliable source, it is from the same Boston paper (the Boston Phoenix) as the article, and per the WP:GNG, multiple publications from the same organization should be considered a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.

 * Delete: I'm seeing very little beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. Beyond Rorshacma's accurate comment about the GNG requiring two different sources, one of the two Phoenix cites is of a performance sponsored by the subject, almost all of it talks about other acts performing, and could not be considered in any way shape or form to be significant coverage of the subject.

 * 2 of the three artists described are members of the Boston 8-Bit which is a collective of artists not a group or band, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
