 * Comment: I suspect that there may well be coverage of the band in print versions of NME at the time, as they were largely composed of former members of Hope of the States, who had had considerable press and some chart success before they split, and there would have been interest in what the former members did next. However, without access to back issues of NME I can't make a case for keeping this article, and perhaps a redirect to Hope of the States would be the best course of action for now.

 * Merge to Hope of the States. Why does nobody seem to consider alternatives to deletion these days? Here's some coverage:, . --Michig (talk) 21:11, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Hope of the States. I don't recommend merging because they are two separate bands with distinct histories and trajectories, albeit with several members in common. The band called Troubles got no reliable and significant media notice (at least online) after brief mentions of their formation. The historical connection between the two bands is already mentioned at the Hope of the States article and that is sufficient. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 02:26, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
