Advertorially-toned article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no reliable source coverage to support it. Right across the board the sourcing here is to primary sources and YouTube videos that cannot assist notability at all, with the exception of a small smattering of local newspaper coverage in their own hometown. Being non-winning contestants in a music competition series is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself, and nothing else here is strong enough to grant them a presumption of notability in the absence of better sourcing than this. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform where a band automatically gets to keep an article just because they exist -- real reliable source coverage, supporting a credible claim of notability, must be present. And on a ProQuest search, I found just two WP:ROUTINE local concert listings for them, with no evidence of enough substantive coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Delete.

 * Delete the article fails WP:BAND. The reliable sources are local sources only. The non-local ones are self-promotional or non-reliable sources. CerealKillerYum (talk) 03:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
