The Yarrow

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:GNG. The two sources that aren't unnacessible dead links are A) an interview about a concert the band would play at and B) a student magazine (probably not a very reliable or independent source). Now the other links might be dead, but judging by the comments on the AfD from a decade ago, these are unlikely to be more than trivial puff pieces and the like. I can't find anything else; except maybe about some other band which shares the same name but is from elsewhere in the US. So, again, thorough GNG fail.

 * Yeah, I agree--and there is nothing in here that suggests actual notability. Delete. Drmies (talk) 03:04, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Considering the article was created in 2009 in a possible bit of WP:SELFPROMOTION and that the bands profile has not increased since then this does not meet GNG. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 04:08, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found archive.org backups for the dead links. The band hasn't charted anywhere, and it doesn't appear to be currently active, but I think the references taken as a whole establish notability under WP:GNG, although not WP:NMUSIC. Once notable, always notable. Could I ask any nominator who encounters a broken link in an article they are considering nominating to run IAbot on the article first? History tab, then Fix dead links. Also, student media are just as reliable and independent as any other. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:15, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Minor references from local news fails notability Deathlibrarian (talk) 07:46, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems to fail WP:GNG rather thoroughly – unsigned and dissolved band that never charted with a few mentions in local newspapers from over a decade ago. ExRat (talk) 09:15, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom fails WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 03:10, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
