Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Non notable band. I just found out that the article survived an AfD back in 2010 and the article stayed because there are "good sources". Well I did not find any. The article itself has abysmal sourcing, nothing that indicates any notability - their Myspace pages and the site of their record label. I did a Google search and I found nothing about Synical at all, only stuff that has the word "cynical" but not about the band itself nor is it spelled with an S. They seem to have released a single album in 2000 according to Discogs but it seems like this album have gotten unnoticed, and Discogs is not a RS anyway. (By the way I find it weird that a band that is supposedly active since 1989 only managed to do one single album which have gotten unnoticed, I have a suspicion that this group actually split up a long time ago). I also tried searching with quotation marks but the results are still not any better. There are now a few sources that are about the band but they are also the unreliable stuff like Spotify, Discogs and Rate Your Music. The rest of them are an Amazon page, dictionary definitions, SoundCloud, song lyrics and lots of mentions of this word (in this form) but not about the band at all. The article states that they released their debut album in 2012 - I did not found anything about it either, and second, they released a self-titled album in 2000. This is really confusing to me now. Maybe that album was just an EP and this 2012 album is their studio album... I don't know. Still a non-notable band anyway. :) The article also has multiple issues, which is not a good sign either. Frankly I don't know how this article managed to stay here in the first AfD. So I think this is not a notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Note to closer for soft deletion: While this discussion appears to have no quorum, it is NOT eligible for soft deletion because it was previously discussed at AfD and the result was Keep. --Cewbot (talk) 00:02, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete No refs on page other than cleopatra, as per ghostdestroyer only on sites that other editors have voted on as dubious, only notability I can see is that Eric Griffin was in the band, but notability is non transferable.User:Davidstewartharvey
