This band was influential in the underground experimental music scene of the 1990s. They have over 27,000 downloads on the Internet Archive and many devoted fans: https://archive.org/details/lf074mp3 It is a mistake to remove this page. Wikipedia needs to hold space for bands with an alternative media presence outside mainstream distribution and publishing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valis911 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. The sources in the article are cack, and there seems to be nothing better out there. --Michig (talk) 10:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. The Village Voice is the one decent source in the article, but it mentions the band only briefly as part of a wider article about bands and teen suicide. "Wikipedia needs to hold space for bands with an alternative media presence outside mainstream distribution and publishing" – only if the bands in question pass the notability and verifiability guidelines of WP:GNG and WP:V, Valis911.
