Things in my pocket

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Although this article has a number of references, they only support what the article itself says - that the band reached the ‘district finals in a number of Swedish music competitions’ but didn’t actually win any. The albums aren’t notable. The fact that they are listed as runners up in several and in one case played in front of 400 people does not make them notable. Overall, does not pass WP:BAND because while there are multiple sources they are not non-trivial. Mccapra (talk) 04:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Poor name choice makes it difficult to find RSes that discuss the band. The sources in the article are essentially WP:PRIMARY (press releases, etc.) and the ones that aren't, are associated (festivals, concerts). Fails both WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO with making to district finals of small competitions the closest they get to the latter. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Looks like an autobiography (a SPA named "Favoritanton") and it doesn't look like the subject made any more records after the two listed in the discography – the second is an album, available from their Bandcamp site, but it doesn't appear to be on sale from any other outlet. The official website is dead, having been taken over by a blog. No obvious coverage from reliable independent sources. The festivals listed are just district finals, not national finals, for which the subject failed to qualify... the Rockkarusellen event was attended by just 400 people, so clearly not a major event even within the district.

 * Delete per above. Despite the number of references that are present, the actual coverage of the band is trivial, as stated in the nom.  Reaching, but not winning, "district finals" in competitions is not enough to pass WP:NBAND, and the coverage in sources is not enough to pass the WP:GNG.  Rorshacma (talk) 23:38, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - For now. WP:GNG are not met as of now. They need to chart before re-creation.BabbaQ (talk) 14:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - totally obscure local band. Fails WP:MUSICBIO by a kilometer. FWIW, I have Swedish in-laws. Bearian (talk) 16:59, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
