Lascivious Biddies

 * – ( View AfD View log )

91 results on Google. Only hits are standard databases like Allmusic and Discogs, plus sites selling their music. Found a couple newspaper articles, but they are merely PR fluff for local concerts. Seems to fail every variant of WP:NMUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:26, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - Like the nominator I was able to find a couple of local newspaper articles, which are fairly robust but probably written in conjunction with upcoming gigs. Otherwise I can only find the typical retail/streaming entries and some gig announcements. The band has been around for a long time but significant media coverage seems to have eluded them. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:15, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. They're the subject of this long article in the Winston-Salem Journal, another long piece in amNY, a third in LNP, and Steven Levy calls them "podcasting pioneers" in The Perfect Thing: How the iPod Shuffles Commerce, Culture, and Coolness (p.244). All three of the newspaper articles go well beyond the WP:ROUTINE mentions we might expect for a band and represent WP:SIGCOV. pburka (talk) 17:25, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep The amount of hits something gets in Google doesn't determine notability. The amount and quality of references do (as pburka pointed out). I can find a ton of hits about Sia being locked in Beyonce's basement, but that wouldn't mean I can make a page about it! BuySomeApples (talk) 02:24, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, enough coverage for notability, which matters more than google hits.Jackattack1597 (talk) 14:12, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
