Superthriller

This page was created by a SPA and has remained an unreferenced near-orphan ever since. I can't find any media coverage of the band, and they don't appear to have any success in the music charts. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 10:12, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment - received a little, mostly trivial, coverage when they debuted, then faded away a bit. Found one Guardian review... Caro7200 (talk) 13:05, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Not enough sourcing to establish notability.TH1980 (talk) 23:37, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as has coverage in multiple reliable sources such as The Guardian review, and a staff written bio at AllMusic. Also they have been on substantial tours of Europe and the US which is one of the criteria of WP:NMUSIC (only one criteria needed), Will conduct a full search later, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:50, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment the criterion is that the band "has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country" (my emphasis): it's not whether the band has toured, but whether the tour garnered significant media coverage. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:04, 29 March 2020 (UTC)


 * Update, additional references found: The Times (full article needs subscription), NME, The Guardian, The Guardian, The Guardian, and The Stage, imv, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:07, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I've gone through those references. I can only view the first few lines of The Times but it appears to be an interview with one of the band members so would fail NMUSIC ("except for ... publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves"): the second ref is a ten-line album review from 2007: the third is a fourteen-line album review from 2005: the fourth is little more than a passing mention in a set of articles by a journalist about his efforts to work remotely by laptop: the fifth is a single line at the end of a round-up of that week's album releases: and the sixth is an interview with two members of the band, so would, like the first, fail NMUSIC. I'm still not convinced that any of these demonstrate any enduring significance. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:48, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete per arguments by Dom Kaos. The sources cited by Atlantic306 are definitely not enough to warrant a separate article. It's kind of shocking that the band has not received significant coverage in reliable sources despite being around since 2003 and releasing four albums.

 * A full article in The Times and articles in The Guardian Uk as well as NME are more than enough for WP:GNG . A ten line review and a fourteen line review in reliable sources are significant coverage as well as AllMusic. The advice at AFC is a paragraph can constitute significant coverage so these reviews are more than that and significant coverage however you try and twist it, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 01:42, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
