Polite Sleeper
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears from google search to be non-notable. Everything I'm finding is just directory listings. I'm thinking in the ten-year test, not notable. —valereee (talk) 00:33, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there's just nothing here. No big record label, no hits, no nothing--and no coverage. Delete. Drmies (talk) 00:39, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - pinging who did a lot of work on this when it was at AfD last time  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 06:51, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * That was back in 2010, when I was more of an inclusionist than I am now, while music notability guidelines were more lenient. At the time I believed the band had gotten some helpful reviews, but nothing has happened with them in the past 11 years while Wikipedia guidelines have gotten tougher. I will cast a true vote shortly. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:27, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - I defended this article and added some sources back in 2010 when dinosaurs walked the Earth. Of the five sources added back then, four are now extra dead and one is only available via Web Archive. Furthermore, they were all from small and local media outlets, which was acceptable back then but not under the WP guidelines of 2021. There are still a few brief blog-like album reviews floating around, but the band now has no reliable coverage that has stood the test of time. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:08, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not seeing any real indication of lasting notability. Per above, the sources used in the article are all dead links, which, IMO, indicates a lack of importance.  I could be convinced to change my mind, but im not going to put in the effort to try and save this article. Bonewah (talk) 15:27, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The band is not notable. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 06:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
