 * Keep. In addition to the seven reliable sources already contained in the article, the subject has a biography at AllMusic. Meets WP:MUSICBIO through multiple, independent coverage in reliable sources. — sparklism hey! 13:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Here are some other reliable sources found through a quick Google search: 1, 2, 3, 4. Thanks — sparklism hey! 13:39, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge AllMusic is not a reliable source. Delete and merge with Pinegrove (band).-Splinemath (talk) 17:43, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * While I agree AllMusic is not a reliable source, that was not the only source presented in the keep vote above. Andise1 (talk) 21:44, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Allmusic is long established as a reliable source, since it has a large roster of professional writers and publishes books on music. WikiProject Albums/Sources states that "Biography/reviews prose are reliable, but do not use genre sidebar, as it is generated from a separate source from the prose" and I think this is now generally accepted as our standard. There are a couple of discussions linked from that page which show the consensus on this. Thanks — sparklism hey! 13:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am the article creator but think the subject is notable enough on their own. Plenty of sources out there on the subject, including a whole Pitchfork feature which is included in the article. There is also another full feature on the subject from Stereogum . The subject has shown independent notability outside of Pinegrove. Andise1 (talk) 21:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep there is SIGCOV in the article and sparklism has found more. Lightburst (talk) 00:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep per Sparklism and Andise1. Multiple pieces of significant coverage exist; subject meets WP:MUSICBIO.  gongshow  talk  03:35, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep has coverage in seven reliable sources so easily passes WP:GNG, AllMusic is a reliable source and a Pitchfork feature is significant, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:05, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
