Article about a band, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. This was erroneously tagged for speedy deletion on the claim that "the 2010 album that won the award was an album by a different band" -- except cursory investigation revealed that the "other" band was actually just this band having renamed itself, so that's not grounds for deletion per se. But what is a genuine problem is that the award in question isn't even a nationally significant one for the purposes of WP:NMUSIC #8 in the first place, and is sourced to the awarding organization's own self-published content about itself rather than any evidence that it's an award that garners media coverage in order to be notable enough to confer notability on its winners -- and the other two footnotes here are also both primary sources rather than notability-building media coverage. And about all I can find for other coverage is blog entries rather than solid or notability-building media coverage. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the band from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
