Souls on Board

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I am nominating this article for a few reasons:
 * 1) This article appears to have been created solely for the purpose of promoting the band. The article lists a member of the band as Richard Bowers and I notice the article's creator is Richbo82 who has only ever created this particular article and no other edits made. I think this backs up my view that the page is promotional. It would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as an encyclopaedic rather than an advertisement.
 * 2) Does not satisfy WP:GNG as the band is not subject to multiple, non-trivial sources) per WP:BAND.
 * 3) Ultimately, a lack of notability and the promotional nature of the article leads me to conclude it is not suitable for Wikipedia as  Wikipedia is not a place for promotion and its contents are not verifiable. Such-change47 (talk) 08:44, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep the group released two albums via an independent label, reviews for each album are now included in the article. The tone problems and COI have been reduced. It now passes WP:BAND.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:10, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
 * But were the reviewers, like Mess + Noise, an edited publication, as opposed to a blog or user-generated? Geschichte (talk) 07:57, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
