Challenged CSD. Not notable, fails musicbio. CSD challenged on basis of last 3 refs, which are not reliable sources. First 6 refs are blogs and/or self-published. GregJackP Boomer! 03:02, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Keep Some of the sources are borderline reliable. None of them are ideal from a notability standpoint, and I know there are those who reject the idea that a blog can be a reliable source. Looking specifically at [1] and [2], (links to info on the sources, the coverage of the band is available in the ref section) they appears to be serious music publications, with, in the first case a staff of writers, and in the second a primary writer who has experience as a writer for mainstream media. Both provide the identities of their writers, appear to have and discuss their editorial standards, and both appear to be independent. I'm not sure if its enough to meet the threshold for notability, but I think it deserves discussion at the very least. (I dropped the third source I mentioned in the user talk comment after further review) Monty ₈₄₅ 03:14, 7 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — I found mostly sources in the blogosphere, which are usually not reliable. I don't think the ones above or those that I turned up pass muster. Clearly this group exists, but it's WP:TOOSOON to call them notable, especially to the degree of WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO because of reliable sources in particular, but also as to the alternative WP:MUSICBIO.
