Chase Long Beach

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NN band, fails the GNG and WP:NBAND. No substantive coverage in reliable sources beyond namedrops, interviews (explicitly debarred by NBAND C#1) and casual mentions. Notability tagged for over a decade. Prodded in 2009, and removed by an anon IP with the edit summary “THIS ARTICLE SHOULD NOT BE DELETED”   Ravenswing     16:37, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I found these and these sources which establish notability. Besides they are signed to Victory Records which is a notable label. And they seem to be a big name in ska/ska punk circles as many publications, both reliable and unreliable, mention them (and I know mentioning is not enough), but it seems they are an important name. There are also short news about them. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 07:16, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply: That first source is their Allmusic bio, which is not reliable. The second certainly is extensive enough ... if "punknews.org" is a reliable source.  Being signed to a label doesn't meet any of the NBAND criteria; only having two or more albums released on that label does, and the subject only released one before its demise.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Reply Allmusic is a reliable source when the page contains a biography. When it does not, it isn't reliable indeed. Punknews.org is a reliable source as well. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:32, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * This is the list of WikiProject Music reliable and unreliable sources WikiProject Albums/Sources which confirm that AllMusic and Punknews are reliable sources, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:00, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
