 * Comment. I found the following:  from mtvU,  from Time (just a trivial mention, really),  from Rolling Stone (very brief),  and  from Billboard,  from Noisecreep.  Problem is, they're either interviews or basically trivial mentions.  I can't find a single review in a reliable source.  I guess I'll let other people decide.  I won't protest if it's deleted, but I think there's enough coverage to write a credible stub. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:15, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The problem with stubifying it is that the article was basically written by members of the band, so they're likely to just re-build it. BMK (talk) 06:21, 15 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep - in addition to those found NinjaRobotPirate (and I agree with their assessment, if those were all there were I would be leaning on the weak delete side of the fence), there are other RS out there, and from different parts of the country. You have this from NC, this Ebony article, this article from FL (more than a mention, but not too in-depth), and this SMI article from Seattle. In addition, you get a bunch more trivial mentions, again from lots of different sources (HuffPo, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, AllHipHop, Mstarz, The Jersey Journal, CL Charlotte, Bowery Boogie), as well as dozens of others which are simply announcements of upcoming gigs. I think this definitely passes WP:BASIC, as well as passing WP:GNG. The national tour mentioned in the SMI also indicates that they could pass WP:NMUSIC.

 * Are ''any' of those more than mere mentions? BMK (talk) 19:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Response - yes, all 4 of the ones I separated out.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep There's definitely enough notability based on reliable sources here per User:Onel5969 comment. --MurderByDeadcopy"bang!" 05:51, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
