 * Redirect to Matt Berninger rather than delete because this is a newly formed project and there's enough coverage to support the move, here and here. SwisterTwister   talk  05:51, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Articles are popping up about the duo's forthcoming album, there's a tour that spans the US, hits Canada, and goes to Europe, and the album release is forthcoming. I see no reason to delete, when it's likely the album is going to receive more attention as more releases happen/interviews occur. Additionally, redirecting to Matt Berninger seems off when it's not a solo project from him. The band also falls under notability for "Criteria for musicians and ensembles". Criteria 1 reads "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself", and El Vy have coverage in NPR, NME, Newsweek, Consequence of Sound and others just from a cursory Google search of the band name. Criteria 6 reads "Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles." This band contains two clearly notable musicians Matt Berninger and Brent Knopf, who has a solo project that is notable on Wikipedia under the name Ramona Falls.

 * Redirect per failing NBANDS, GNG. The article creator has a longterm history of making articles like this either too soon, or unnecessarily altogether. Sergecross73   msg me  00:58, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
