Ebb (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a band, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The only notability claim even being attempted here is that the band members were previously associated with other bands -- but under NMUSIC #6, that only gets you anywhere if at least two band members have standalone notability as individuals, which isn't what's on offer here. And the sourcing isn't cutting it, either: three of the six footnotes are to streaming platforms (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music); two are Q&A interviews with Erin Bennett in which she's talking about herself in the first person; one is a deadlinked blog entry that's been cybersquatted by an advertorial reviewer of random gadgets; and then there's a contextless separate linkfarm of "press" that adds no actual media coverage, just repeating one of the Q&A interviews and adding three more blog entries. So that's ten links, of which exactly zero are notability-assisting reliable source coverage in real media, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to entitle them to keep an article that's sourced like this. Also some conflict of interest issues, as the article has been heavily edited by a person whose username directly matches the name of one of the band members — and even the page's creator is a literal WP:SPA for Erin Bennett's musical projects, with a username less definitively but still circumstantially suggestive of Erin Bennett herself.

 * Delete - As stated above, the group simply isn't notable. We just don't have the coverage that we need to build a proper article with. Deletion is totally the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 03:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom, no RS, nothing for Erin Bennett Band as well. Caro7200 (talk) 13:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
