WP:BEFORE search does not show very promising result. Fails WP:NMUSIC and GNG. Graywalls (talk) 18:09, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep This search gave me a result from a 1990s rock magazine plus discussion in other books about punk music, indicating this did leave a mark on the punk music community. An archive.org search gave me contemporaneous coverage of the band from HeartattaCk (including an album review and this issue that not only reviews split singles of the band but also makes comparisons to the band in reviews of other releases), several results from Maximum Rocknroll (including this this that talks about another magazine interviewing them, this that reports on another magazine interviewing the band plus covers one of their releases, a review that makes an Econochrist comparison and many others), Profane Existence (such as this piece where a journalist calls the band one of his favorites) and so much other magazine coverage I couldn't fit it in this discusssion. The coverage, interviews, and constant mentioning of the band in punk magazines plus the same in retrospective books on punk indicates this is a notable topic. 👨x🐱 (talk) 14:20, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Plus, lots of retrospective coverage in rock and punk sources plus publications like Vice and newspapers. 👨x🐱 (talk) 14:23, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I did notice them when I was doing the WP:BEFORE search. Which ones show significant coverage? I did find a ton of bread crumb coverage like "A promoter in Sacramento had booked the top acts from the East Bay punk scene, including legendary bands Econochrist, Green Day, Crummy Musicians, Filth, and Sam I Am", but a bunch of short snippets of superlatives like "legendary bands like"... (appear in a list of bands) don't amount to significant coverage in the sense of WP:GNG. So, let's see examples of actual SIGNIFICANT coverage. Finding bits of car glass from the street sweeper bin that amounts to several whole windows can not be added up to mean the same thing as finding two whole windows. Graywalls (talk) 18:15, 2 May 2021 (UTC) I also inspected Maximumrocknroll, and I see no WP:SIGCOV Graywalls (talk) 18:20, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   06:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep as there has been enough coverage in multiple reliable sources such as Vice, Maximumrocknroll and others identified in this discussion to enable a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:31, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
