Delete this band actually does not exist in 1980s and is actually slipknot tribute band —Preceding unsigned comment added by Syxxpackid420 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can find no coverage about this band. Their discography indicates that they out one EP and one song for a label compilation, and the one ep, Slipknot (EP) only ever had a press run of 5000.  Searching for sources is confounded by Slipknot (band).  However, using a a variety modifiers on the search to filter results turned up no coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 16:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Whpq. Jclemens (talk) 23:08, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete no coverage of this band appears to exist. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 00:06, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete couldn't find anything myself other than random forum and blog posts. —Torchiest talk/contribs 15:19, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - note that number of copies for an album release is not a distinct criterion for deletion, and this band is at a disadvantage in online searches because they're from the pre-internet era. Also there is the enormous problem of confusion with the other Slipknot. Regardless, my conclusion is the same as that of Whpq above. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 16:02, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MUSIC; no coverage in multiple reliable sources, don't have multiple releases on notable labels. The band does appear to have existed however and is not a tribute band. Possibly worth adding a note somewhere on the Slipknot page to avoid confusion. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 23:00, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
