Doesn't appear to meet WP:BAND. Has no reliable sources. Couldn't find any elsewhere. StewdioMACK (talk) 19:48, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep Meets WP:BAND #5 with two full length albums on Artoffact Records, a significant indie label that has been in operation since 1999. As usual with start class articles like this, the article does need help, but that on its own is not deletion criteria. -- t_kiehne (talk) 02:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- That criterion doesn't hinge on listing the albums, it hinges on showing that the albums received coverage about them (e.g. reviews by professional music critics) in WP:GNG-worthy publications. Bearcat (talk) 15:19, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. There are statements here that would be acceptable notability claims if they were reliably sourced — but notability doesn't hinge on what the article says, it hinges on how well the article supports the things it says with WP:GNG-worthy referencing to verify that the things it says are accurate. But this article cites no reliable sources at all, and even a WP:BEFORE attempt to find better sources fetched only primary sources and irrelevant accidental text matches, and turned up not one hint of GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about the band or their albums at all.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 20:59, 5 September 2024 (UTC)- Delete per Bearcat. I similarly wasn't able to find coverage in reliable sources. toweli (talk) 21:15, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
