Shortfall

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no strong reliable source coverage to support it. They released two albums on an indie label that is not prominent enough to get them over NMUSIC #5, they placed two tracks on compilation albums that weren't notable enough to pass NMUSIC #10, and the only source present for anything at all here is not substantive coverage of the band, but a glancing namecheck of their existence in an article about one of the compilation albums. As always, Wikipedia is not a platform on which a band is entitled to have an article just because they existed; there must be a strong claim of notability, and enough reliable source coverage about them to support it, for an article to become earned. And even if we did accept 5 and 10 on the grounds that there's some room for debate how much notability the label or the compilation has to have to count toward passage of those criteria, the reliable source coverage about them is the one NMUSIC criterion that no band is ever exempted from having to pass — even if the article claims passage of every other criterion in the list, an article still can't be kept if the claims can't be supported by reliable source coverage about the band.

 * Delete. No evidence of notability found from a Google search, and there's not really much of a claim of notability in the article - playing gigs in your hometown, appearing on a community channel, releases on a pretty minor label, etc. --Michig (talk) 21:02, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
