The result was keep. One can discuss whether the album articles should be merged (probably not, given some reasoning here) but it's certainly not a delete. Tone 21:03, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Hammerhead (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Band does not meet notability guidelines in WP:NMUSIC; thus, their albums, also listed here, do not. All sources cited in the article are from non-WP:RS zines. I checked and did not see any WP:CHART activity from the band, and their material was not released on a major label.

 * Keep. If the sources in the article are from unreliable sources, that's an article quality issue, not a reason to delete. If they didn't chart, that means they don't satisfy one of the criteria of WP:NMUSIC. They released three albums on Amphetamine Reptile which is "one of the more important indie labels", so gives them a pass of criterion 4 of the guideline. In addition, they received sufficient coverage, e.g. Allmusic:, , , , Trouser Press, Noisey/Vice, City Pages, Andre Earles' book Gimme Indie Rock, The Spokesman-Review, and probably plenty more in the music press from the 90s when they were originally active. --Michig (talk) 20:33, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep the Hammerhead (band) article (meets WP:GNG) and then merge the separate album articles into it. North America1000 10:47, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as passes WP:NMUSIC as releases on a major label and has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources as shown above so also passes WP:GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 19:42, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
