Shock Therapy (Band)

Cannot confirm this meets WP:BAND. Content is a copy/paste of this other wiki, which has a creative commons license. There are no references cited on the nominated article, and no reliable sources noted on the external wiki page. A Google search reveals a discogs page, a Facebook page, an Instagram page, a spotify page, and the band's own website - but nothing that independently supports notability.

 * Delete - This article is such a copy from other sites that it doesn't even bother to make a statement of notability for WP's purposes. Itchy the lead guy made the local news in Detroit a few times when he went to prison and then when he died, at which time eulogies tried to convince readers that his band was popular. The band seems to have no reliable coverage despite a long career and many albums. I can find nothing beyond the band's own self-created sources, a few minor retail listings, and some minor promotions for an upcoming local tribute album. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 19:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - I dunno. Band had international career.   isn't much, but it indicates the likelyhood of a much more in-depth source (in German).  They released albums on Dossier, which currently doesn't have an article, but the label released notable albums per Category:Dossier Records albums, so the band may meet WP:NBAND #5. I'm not entirely convinced the band is notable, but there's more here than the sorry state of the article would suggest.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 21:58, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete Currently lacks references establishing that WP:BAND is met. But I think that there is some potential, so I'm happy to reconsider if more references are unearthed. MrsSnoozyTurtle 06:02, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
