Non-notable band: no third-party coverage Prof. Squirrel (talk) 16:44, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No Sources seems to rely on original research and shows no proof of notability.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 17:05, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~Keep - No evidence of notability. Even the Thai Wikipedia article is poorly sourced. ~~Fails WP:BAND~~.- Mr X 17:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: For your perusal: Concert review in The Nation; Noted to be best-selling band of indie label Smallroom by The Nation; Single review in the Bangkok Post --Paul_012 (talk) 17:23, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As for Thai-language sources, their album releases & movements have been covered by national newspapers Daily News, Khao Sod, Kom Chad Luek, Khao Sod, and appeared on Channel 3's morning news show. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:34, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I admit, I hadn't noticed those. But I'm keeping the nomination for now, since the article itself currently lacks citations. If someone were to add third-party citations, I'll withdraw the nomination. —Prof. Squirrel (talk) 18:59, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability doesn't require that the sources be cited in the article, only that they can be shown to exist.-- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 04:18, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Looking at WP:BAND:

1. "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself."—See above links.

2. "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart."—Their single Khun Kep Khwam Lap Dai Mai topped 98.5 Good FM's chart for the week of 25 December 2010.[1]

5. "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels."—Have released five albums with Universal Music (Thailand), Sony Music (Thailand) and Smallroom, one of Thailand's better-known Indie labels.

12. "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network."—See above Channel 3 link.

Keep per the coverage listed above.-- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 04:18, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Although I'm not sure how "official" the Thai chart mentioned is, the band has been covered in enough reliable sources. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:21, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
