Gas Chamber Orchestra

American experimental band. They have a funny name in my opinion. But I'm afraid they are not notable for WP. The article is sourced to Myspace (not a RS) and an article about them which looks great, but this article is published in a San Jose magazine called Metro (Gas Chamber Orchestra is from San Jose) so it is not independent / just because a local paper covered them does not mean they are notable. I did a Google search, first without quotation marks and there were very few results about the band (or orchestra), most of the results were about gas chambers. Then I did a google search with quotation marks, now there are sites that are about the band - but unfortunately facebook, Amazon, RateYourMusic, Youtube videos, Bandcamp and all this crap. There is also a lyrics site, lots and lots of namechecks, trivial mentions, WP mirrors and stuff where the words are separated. None of these satisfy WP:RS. Neither of these are reliable. How this article managed to stay here since 2006 is beyond me - but I think I already said this several times.

 * Delete: A band project by 4 music students, only one of whose subsequent activity is marked by an article here. I don't see the local preview coverage of their 1998 concert or anything found in searches as sufficient to demonstrate that notability was attained. The one sentence coverage on the Mark Grey page is sufficient. (A redirect to there might be an option?) AllyD (talk) 09:24, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the title can stay as a redirect. It is not notable for its own article though. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 15:30, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There is nothing at all wrong about the San Jose newspaper source,as local sources are permitted for music articles and are often more reliable than national sources, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:16, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
