Night Wind

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Semi-advertorialized article about a band, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The only notability claim on offer here is that they were "pleasantly surprised at the positive reactions" to their sole album, which satisfies no part of NMUSIC whatsoever, and the footnotes are two primary sources directly self-published by the band and a Q&A interview in which they're talking about themselves on a music database that isn't a reliable source — which means that they don't pass WP:GNG on the sourcing, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to pass GNG on the sourcing. (Note also the existence of Night Wind (film), which has a much, much stronger claim to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC rights for the undisambiguated title and should be moved to it following deletion — and even if somebody with stronger Uzbek language skills than I've got can actually find the quality of sourcing needed to salvage the band, the band would still need to be moved to "Night Wind (band)" so that the film could get the plain title.)

 * Delete: I can't find any coverage in reliable sources. They don't seem to satisfy any NMUSIC criteria that would indicate notability. Throast (talk &#124; contribs) 14:50, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The article does at least have one independent source in the form of an interview for a fan website that probably does not qualify as a media institution or an WP:RS--which is still actually quite a bit more than many articles of this sort (that is, articles for probably non-notable bands that end up AfD) usually have going for them, but still far less than is required to meet the general notability burden. Unless further sourcing establishing notability is forthcoming, deleting seems the appropriate outcome here. SnowRise let's rap 02:47, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
