Five Times August

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Per WP:GNG, this artist has very little (if any) coverage in reliable sources which are substantially discussing his act. Not just lists, etc. I couldn't find a single article since 2013, and only then in non-reliable outlets. It also fails WP:NMG, as the act does not, contrary to the unsourced and wild claims of the article, have any #1 songs on any notable charts, or any notable awards. There is also a COI concern, given that most of the article was written by a user account which shares a last name with the sole member of this band. This is also the user account which added many of the grandiose claims which have since been removed, such as "The band was the first to use a kickstarter to fund an album" or "This song is currently #1 on the billboard charts in the US" etc. Things which are demonstrably false. — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 23:59, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
