An article on The Wrecks was deleted in November 2017. See Articles for deletion/The Wrecks. What has happened recently is that the band released its first album, Infinitely Ordinary. Nothing in the article implies that the band or the album satisfies any of the musical notability criteria. The first reference states that the band exists. We knew that. The second reference states that the album exists. We knew that. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Delete I found three pieces on Billboard's website, but I'm not convinced they're enough to satisfy GNG. There's a short bio at AllMusic and only one of their works is listed there, and it has no review or rating. When doing a Google search, there is nothing else present on the first five pages. As I was cleaning the article up I was thinking delete and salt, but not sure if salting is needed. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:31, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This is a tricky one. There's lots of coverage out there, but when the reprinted press releases, fansites masquerading as magazines, student newspapers, event announcements, and brief mentions are stripped out, there isn't much left. The best I found that haven't already been identified are:, , , , , . --Michig (talk) 10:03, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep the Billboard piece referenced in the article is significant coverage in a reliable source together with coverage in AllMusic and Altpress and others identified above for a pass of WP:GNG and criteria 1 of WP:NMUSIC, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:45, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep This article needs some improvements but with the Billboard pieces and other sources found this article meets WP:BAND.  Jay  Jay What did I do? 05:09, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - whilst there are a lot of junk sources in the article, as others have mentioned, the Billboard one, along with a few others, is enough Spiderone  11:34, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
