Proximity butterfly

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND. Article appears to have been written by a member of the band, and primary claims of notability are 1) featured in a Rolling Stone Magazine article, and 2) listed as having had one of the top 50 albums in mainland China by That's Shanghai magazine.

The Rolling Stone source is obviously incorrect, as it cites issue 243 which was published in 1977, more than 25 years before this band became active. There may be another article that does feature this band, but I was unable to find it. The WP article also cites an LA Times article for the same claim, but the actual LA Times article never mentions Proximity Butterfly. The That's Shanghai article does appear to be legitimate, but is not sufficient to meet WP:BAND. Paisarepa (talk) 23:44, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

FYI, nominators comment about the Rolling Stone issue: just a guess, but the reference may be to the Chinese Edition of Rolling Stone. International editions of Rolling Stone have different numbering than the "official" U.S. counterpart. ShelbyMarion (talk) 12:11, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete: As per nom. There is no substantial coverage of this band. Cosmic Sans (talk) 15:09, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete the article. AS above, the Article obviously fails both WP:GNG or WP:BAND.Forest90 (talk) 12:07, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete don't appear to meet WP:BAND. Doesn't have WP:SIGCOV. Most of the references aren't reliable. Masum Reza 📞 17:28, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
