The result was keep. I would not be opposed to a merge to Carl Saff either, but here, the consensus leans to keep as new sources were brought to light. Geschichte (talk) 02:56, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Emperor Penguin (music)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:39, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Electronic music duo based in Chicago. I doubt their notability. The sourcing consists of the site of their record label and an Allmusic biography. The Allmusic biography provides notability, but the My Pal God Records site does not as it's not independent from the band. They have an article on frwiki and huwiki as well, but the sourcing relies on these two sites there as well. (And btw, I have never heard about "My Pal God Records" before, but it doesn't seem like a notable label either, despite having an article on WP - the sourcing on that article consists solely of the site of the label, and the Google search results did not return any reliable sources about that). Searching "Emperor Penguin Band" does not yielded too much stuff that are about the band so I decided to look some of their albums up. All I got were the standard unreliable sites (youtube videos, databases, retail sites, streaming links, WP mirrors). Google Books also returned "CMJ New Music Report" magazine to me, and I thought it would be about the albums, (I looked up "Mysterious Pony" and "Shatter the Illusion of Integrity, Yeah") but it was just the titles listed as part of a "new album releases" and "monthly album releases" lists. That's it. So I did not found any reliable sources other than Allmusic. They don't seem notable to me. Maybe there are print sources available but I can't track them down, as I am not keen on that.

 * Delete the subject of the article does not seem to notable, and it doesn't seem to follow WP:V either. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 00:11, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. In addition to the Allmusic bio, there are two album reviews on that site, and there are also reviews from Washington City Paper and NME. --Michig (talk) 08:46, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep in view of the multiple reliable sources coverage identified above that show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
