The Agents (English band)

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

This band appears to fail WP:NBAND and have no viable redirect target. The only mention of the band that I have been able to locate on Newspapers.com is a passing mention from '83 in the South Wales Echo stating that Nick Bahra was their percussionist; that is quite literally all that is said in the source. The two references currently in the article is a record store that is WP:CIRCULAR (citogenesis) to Wikipedia and a database listing. This is insufficient to meet NBAND's "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" sourcing requirements or those of WP:GNG ("significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject").

 * Delete. Notable for a specialist wiki, no doubt, but not for a general global encyclopaedia, which needs to avoid WP:BIAS on all fronts, whether in favour of Anglosphere subjects in general or in favour of the interests of a particular clique therein, both of which are shown up by this article's existence.
