Non-notable unsigned local band, one step up (maybe) from garage band Orange Mike  &#124;  Talk  15:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Presence of some sources seems to me to indicate some notability. Balle010 (talk) 15:40, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - Just another NN band. Nothing to see here people, just move along. Couldn't find anything besides the same old unreliable sites (you know the drill: WP mirrors, databases, social media, and stuff where the words are separated). By the way "Power Pirate" is not the easiest name to search for as these are very common words and adding "band" did not help much either. Most of the results were about another band called "Pirate Power Band", pirates and all this stuff, but there were very few results about this band - and those few were unreliable. I also tried searching for their only album, Plane Ticket (wow, what a special name too!) and the results were streaming service links, databases, trivial mentions/name checks (mostly WP mirrors which mirror the Power Pirate article) and one album announcement. The rest of the results are again, just the words separated in random other stuff. So, to summarize: no reliable sources whatsoever. They may be present on streaming service and social media pages, but those don't grant any notability. Btw this page had an AfD back in 2009 and it was deleted because it wasn't notable back then either. That AfD had a lot of sockpuppets and SpAs protesting to keep the article. And then it was re-created in 2010 and since then it managed to stay on WP, with no reliable sources. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 16:13, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
