 * Weak keep as does have an AllMusic staff written bio here and a album review there as well, also book source mentioned in the previous AfD, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:28, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per, WP:BARE, and WP:NBAND: we have tended to keep bands for which there is an article on AllMusic. It's not an open-and-shut case, however. Bearian (talk) 18:56, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. While there isn't much online coverage, the Allmusic bio suggests they were significant enough in their day. It seems very likely that print coverage from the 1970s exists. --Michig (talk) 14:45, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak keep In addition to the AllMusic bio, I found a review of their album. Garuda3 (talk) 21:06, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment It needs to be noted the flaw in relying on these particular AllMusic entries--comprising the bio, discography, and previous AfD discussion--as something we can fairly rely on in assessing this band's notability, as there appears to be some confusion with the work of this band and someone else who records under the same name.

 * Comment Should the article be kept, Mason (band) is the better title. 162 etc. (talk) 20:37, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Not sure how much this helps in building consensus, but everyone who issued a not-so-enthusiastic "weak keep" above is convincing on the existence of the AllMusic bio and a few surviving album reviews. This indicates that the band got some reliable notice in its day, but the article will never rise above Stub status. Also, I agree with the recommendation to move the article to Mason (band). ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 19:22, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
