Non-notable band, fails WP:NBAND and WP:GNG Flat Out (talk) 06:08, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as I said in my endorsement of the original prod (which was contested and removed), not only are there no WP:BAND criteria met, but WP:CORP (which applies to any organization including bands) requires national or at least regional coverage, not merely local coverage, which is all this band has. ~Anachronist (talk) 06:29, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, bands don't have to pass WP:CORP in addition to passing WP:BAND. Yes, a band should have wider coverage not limited to a single city, but BAND does include "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city" as a potential notability claim that can be satisfied by a particularly strong volume of purely local coverage. NMUSIC already requires the claim to be supported by media coverage that would satisfy WP:GNG, so there's no reason to add secondary hurdles that a band also has to clear supplementary SNGs in addition to NMUSIC. Furthermore, a solo artist would not have to clear CORP in addition to NMUSIC — and the notability standards for bands cannot be tighter than they are for solo artists.

Delete - as I stated in my PROD I do not believe that the article meets WP:BAND, it might pass notability eventually but it is very much WP:TOOSOON. Mifter (talk) 01:18, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This doesn't claim anything at all that would pass WP:NMUSIC, and the volume of sourcing shown is neither substantive enough to clear WP:GNG nor extending beyond a single event of purely local significance. Bearcat (talk) 19:23, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
