Loci (band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable band. AfD was closed as no consensus in 2008, but I think they just don't make the cut by today's standards. No reviews from reliable sources located, and the AllMusic listing appears to be for a different band. Ultimately I just don't think there's enough to pass WP:NBAND or WP:GNG. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:51, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:NBAND. The band's website is dead and I can't find any evidence that the band existed beyond the two self-released EPs mentioned in the article – as the nominator says, other mentions on "Loci" on AllMusic and other sites refer to a US electronic artist, not this band. The previous AfD survived due to supposed airplay on a local BBC radio station – I'm not sure that's enough to show notability (plenty of new bands get played on local radio stations, BBC 6 Music's "Introducing" programme, etc.), and the BBC Wales website that is linked is now dead, and no archive exists that I can find. There is a brief review of the first EP (mostly regarding its production than its musical merits) in a Sound on Sound review, but ultimately it seems what we have here is a band with just two self-released EPs to their name that's been defunct for nearly a decade. Aricle created by a near-SPA that only has three other minor Wikipedia edits not related to this band. Richard3120 (talk) 15:36, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
