Icarus (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

References consist of links to the band's music and dead links to other sites. No evidence of notability provided, and none found during a cursory search of the Internet (found non-article links to the BBC, a twitter account, facebook, Discogs, lots of chances to listen to tracks, but no discussion in reliable independent secondary sources). Having a track included on a compilation by a notable artist does not make the band notable. KDS4444 (talk) 09:58, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. nb: I was the creator of this article, back in 2008 (thanks for the ping!). Sure, the article needs some work, but as far as non-trivial coverage in reliable sources goes we have: a short biography and several album reviews from AllMusic as well as an album review from Pitchfork and one from Tiny Mix Tapes. They've also released full length albums on Temporary Residence, Output Recordings and The Leaf Label (among others), so I believe that WP:NMUSIC criteria #1 and #5 are met.

 * Keep: I think there is enough coverage, per the creator above. Passes WP:MUSIC. SL93 (talk) 19:15, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
