Wasi (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Semi-advertorialized article about a band, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The sole notability claim being attempted here is the existence of two EPs, but NMUSIC #5 is looking for full albums, and nothing else stated here passes any other criterion in NMUSIC. And while there is one decent Billboard citation, that isn't enough all by itself -- of the other three footnotes, two are dead links which both turned out to be very, very short and unsubstantive blurbs when I Waybacked them, and one just tangentially verifies the existence of an event while completely failing to verify the claim that this band had anything to do with it. (There were previously additional footnotes which were recently stripped by another editor, but they were entirely of the "music sourced to its own existence on Spotify" variety, which is not support for notability either.) Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:31, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG. The only two members of the band mentioned (and there must have been others) do not have articles and I can't find significant coverage of either online. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 21:48, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
