Appears to be a non-notable band. None of the current sources are reliable or independent of the group. After running a few searches, I could not any significant coverage that can justify their notability for an stand-alone article. Does not seem to even meet any WP:BAND criteria. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 03:23, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No coverage, no reliable sources. Couldn't find anything besides the standard unreliable sites like databases, retail sites and stuff where the words are separated. Never heard of them but I looked them up and this was all I found. Actually most of the results are the words separated, there is very little about the band and they are all unreliable. This was a very underground band which have made no waves when they were active and certainly not now. I said it before and I say it again: it's a shame that so many non-notable bands inhabit Wikipedia (even though this article was created recently).

No not really, none of the current sources are reliable. All four of them are unreliable sources (Allmusic) and fail to demonstrate any significant coverage of the subject, that is they are just mentions in a sea among many others. I can't even access the third source as it warns me that my connection is not private. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 00:53, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• AllMusic is a reliable source as determined at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources, when it has a staff written bio and staff written reviews but in this case its just a listing so is no help towards notability, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:30, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that's what I meant to say, AllMusic is not a reliable source to establish notability from. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 01:49, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - Let's analyze the sources. As Atlantic306 said, Allmusic is a reliable source indeed when the page of the artist contains a biography or the page of the album contains a review. This time though the biography page is blank and the album page is just a track listing, with no reviews from either the staff or users whatsoever (if users posted a review it wouldn't make the album notable either). So Allmusic is not a reliable source in this case. One of the sources (Sonic Boom) is not even available to me, as the domain has expired. And the last one (Aiding & Abetting) is a really short album review which could be the only halfway acceptable source, although I am not convinced about that either, as this review is just one of multiple similarly short album reviews, on a site whose reliability looks dubious to me at best. And finally we are at the external links which are the official site of the band, Discogs and Musicbrainz. Unreliable sites alright, but they are still good for external links, but for external links only, not main sources. So I still think this band is not notable.
