 * Comment They don't seem very notable. If they go, all of their albums have to go as well. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 16:13, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * All five of their album articles are unsourced, and a search reveals almost nothing for any of them. I found no reliable reviews at all; one of the albums got a blog review. I am going to redirect all the album articles to the band because they are ripe for that process anyway, and they won't be left behind if the band is deleted too. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 21:55, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - This band survived their first AfD back in 2008 when simply being mentioned in the media at all, however briefly, could be deemed sufficient. But the criteria at WP:NBAND have gotten tighter since then. In the 2008 AfD, voters contributed ten sources, eight of which are now dead. The other two were merely brief announcements of appearances as the opening act for someone else. I did a new search and only found one more minor announcement of the same: . The band has been around for a long time, but brief snippets of local media notice over the years have added up to nothing of lasting quality. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 21:50, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Question - What's the point of all these relistings? The nominator made a case for deletion, which I seconded with some more detail, and we have an additional comment about the band's non-notable albums. Other AfD's have been ruled "soft delete" with far less action than this one. Don't let this article fall through the cracks with a flimsy "no consensus" just because you're waiting for more votes to miraculously appear. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 02:25, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It's because of the previous deletion discussions. Soft delete only applies when other deletion methods haven't been tried. Geschichte (talk) 08:55, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, I did not say that this one should be soft-deleted, though perhaps it looked that way. I meant that the consensus to delete in this AfD seems pretty solid, more so than in many other AfDs I've observed. If we're headed toward a flimsy "no consensus" for procedural reasons that would be unfortunate for the encyclopedia. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:42, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
