The result was keep. There's consensus that the coverage in the sources meets the threshold of significant coverage in reliable sources. (non-admin closure) Jack Frost (talk) 02:52, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Unnotable band GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Hardcore punk ("powerviolence") duo. (God, I hate the word "powerviolence" so much, it's such a stupid word to describe an awesome genre, but that's just my opinion.) Anyways, their bland name makes it a bit difficult to search, Google has returned quite a few results however. The only problem is that they are interviews on unreliable looking sites, streaming links, databases, concert sites and a few retail sites. No evidence of notable members or record labels. Haven't released any full-length albums, just demos, EPs and the like, typical for underground bands. Tagged for notability since 2009 and sources since 2021. I don't see their notability. But prove me wrong! GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:08, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep. Some decent coverage found. I suspect more exists:, , , . They have released a few studio albums and several live albums - if they're not 'full-length' that's probably because most of their songs are very short. --Michig (talk) 10:50, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as per the multiple reliable sources coverage identified above which shows a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view. The AV Club piece is particularly convincing imv Atlantic306 (talk) 02:20, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 05:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per above; Noisey/Vice and AV Club are both relatively large national music publications and generally reliable for news (i.e. not blog/opinion) coverage, The Stranger is a well-known and reliable Seattle publication, and Pittsburgh City Paper is a less well-known but reliable alt weekly.
