 * There is a list of criteria at this link; a band that does not come under one or more of those criteria is likely (but not definitely) to not be notable enough for inclusion into the encyclopædia. μc8 (talk) 11:12, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, and this meets at least the first criteria. -John Weiss — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Weiss (talk • contribs) 17:42, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The Sputnik review is fine, but it needs at least one other in what Wikipedia calls a reliable source, by my count. 78.18.102.158 (talk) 01:15, 1 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. The review from Prog Sphere should be fine. John Weiss (talk) 05:07, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. The Sputnik review is a good start but by itself is not enough. The prog sphere review is not a reliable source. Halcyon lacks coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 02:41, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * What this article lacks is reliable sources. Progsphere is not "fine", Sputnik is not as terrible as Progsphere but is not enough in isolation, and everything else here is referenced to an invalid primary source like the band's own promotional profiles on Facebook and Bandcamp. I'm willing to reconsider this if good sources start showing up, but this version as currently written does not meet WP:NMUSIC standards and has to be deleted. Bearcat (talk) 04:22, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. To meet WP:BAND criterion #1, we need significant coverage in multiple reliable sources (not just one) that are independent of the subject. ~Amatulić (talk) 06:10, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
