Fails WP:GNG Kleuske (talk) 13:15, 14 October 2016 (UTC) Muck and the Mires have added various sources including Boston Globe, NY Times, and news releases. Our page info is accurate and we will continue to work hard to add more sources in the next few days. Please do not delete our page. Thanks for your help in keeping our page on wikipedia. We welcome any additional concerns or input. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muckandthemires (talk • contribs) 13:55, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nominator, nothing to establish notability.TheLongTone (talk) 13:27, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You really should not be editing your own page, per the conflict of interest policy. Please review that policy. 331dot (talk) 14:20, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Please give us the weekend to correct any issues. We have provided reputable sources (Variety Magazine,NY Times, etc) but we will reach out to a few Wikipedia users to help corroborate our presence and notability in the US, EU and Japanese Music Markets and I will address the user name issue. Thanks so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muckandthemires (talk • contribs) 14:31, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as promotional, given the above edit by the page creator who seems to be associated with the band. 331dot (talk) 14:20, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You have sources, but they need to indicate how you meet the notability criteria for bands. Please review them, and tell us which one or ones your band meets.  I again reiterate that you need to review conflict of interest and possibly the paid editing policy if you are a paid representative of the band. 331dot (talk) 14:38, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

UPDATE OCTOBER 14, 2016: Thanks again for keeping our page active. I have completed my account name change. Thanks for referencing the criteria.
