The result was delete. I would normally have closed this as redirect given our policy on alternatives to deletion. However, there is a compelling reason which gained consensus why to delete instead of redirect in this instance. Barkeep49 (talk) 01:13, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 14:04, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
Even though the band had some notable members, I question the notability of the band in general based on sourcing. The article is solely sourced to the official website and the band's Myspace blog, none of these are reliable or secondary sources. The article has a multiple issues tag on it. Google search brought the usual junk sites like databases, streaming service entries, retail sites, WP mirrors, blogs, blank Allmusic page, press releases, concert announcements... I also looked up their albums and the results are the same - streaming service entries, databases, blogs, retail sites, trivial mentions and stuff where the words are separated. I did not found any reliable source whatsoever. Even though all of their albums have articles, none of them contain any sources. The "Penguins" album seems to have gotten several great reviews from reputable magazines like Metal Hammer, Kerrang and Rock Sound (based on the article), but the reviews themselves are not cited, just quotes from them, which reads rather promotional. (If anybody has said reviews, please post it here and then I insert them in the article - I did not found them and I can't track them down because I'm not keen on that). So in conclusion, I think Sack Trick is not a notable band - the title can stay as a redirect to any of the members' pages but is not notable for its own article. Article creator's only edit was this before he disappeared into thin air. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 14:00, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
@Jax 0677: I think if the article gets deleted, the albums go with it, if the title stays as a redirect, they will get deleted as well - if I remember correctly. But yeah, they aren't notable either. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 16:28, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
They are equally not notable. Btw,@Jax 0677:, Chris Dale is up to deletion as well. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:16, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
