 * Comment The nominator didn't sign their statement; I have corrected this. I note that The Kabeedies discography should be deleted along with this, and will be eligible for A9 if this page is deleted first. –Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 05:50, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete, and also delete The Kabeedies discography. It's true that they played some important festivals, but they were probably low in the schedule and usually were only mentioned as present: e.g., . As for their actual performances, I found this BBC review: , but that is all I can find that is about them specifically. Otherwise they are only visible in their own social media. --- <b style="color:#FF8C00"> DOOMSDAYER 520</b> (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:43, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. The current state of sourcing in the article does not mean the subject is not notable. No evidence of WP:BEFORE here. There's plenty of coverage around, e.g. (which confirms that the band recorded three sessions for BBC national radio),, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . --Michig (talk) 14:48, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Michig; WP:BEFORE was insufficient, and the band meets WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 15:24, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep based on new sources presented above and the fact that they played BBC radio 3 times, they meet WP:BAND. Lesliechin1 (talk) 19:23, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete as majority of the references supplied by Michig are small live reviews from regional news sources. Most artists who have ever played would be able to muster similar clippings. Even the BBC sources are from BBC Norfolk, a regional news outlet, and comment only on how a local band is gaining some national traction. Very small reviews of an album that did not chart nationally. There are thousands of artists from that time who could have WP:BAND if this is the standard.
