 * Delete - Article is full of promotional peacock words about how the band "started it all for hard rock" - a style that existed for decades previously, and were "Grandfathers of modern Dallas metal" - which is not a known sub-genre. Article was created in 2009 by either a fan or member who then disappeared from WP. The band did get a fairly decent write up in a local paper, which shows as a dead link in the article but can now be found here: . I can find nothing else beyond brief and very local gig announcements and some songs in the usual streaming services, and even those are rare. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:03, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Doomsdayer said it best, as usual. Also, the introduction is very PR/fansite-like: "Slow Roosevelt (1996-2004) was one of the premier hard rock acts in the famous Deep Ellum music during its peak from 1999-2004. Although other bands in that genre were on the scene (e.g., Drowning Pool and Jibe), Slow Roosevelt was the band that started it all for hard rock during that time.[citation needed] Considered the Grandfathers of modern Dallas metal, the band accomplished many successes such as a nationally released album..." with no sources to back it up.

 * Delete. Promotional in tone, and lacking the sources to satisfy WP:GNG or any other notability criterion. -- Kinu t/c 18:24, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
