• Delete - They have a friendly interview in a regional blog ([1]), and the occasional gig announcement ([2]). Otherwise they can only be found at the typical social media and streming sites, and even those are rare. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Doomsdayer. All I have found is the Wiki article, myspace, youtube (and even then, only one youtube video is about the band), and the two sites Doomsdayer already listed. Not notable. COI also applies, as the majority of the user's edits revolve around this article and an article about their album (Journey (Verity album)). I think that should be deleted as well. He also edited other articles, but they are rare and as I have seen, all he did was including the "Journey" album in them. So, I correct myself: all of his edits revolve around the band and their (most likely) sole album. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 04:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to GD100 for noticing the album article; I did not because it is not linked to the band article. I have nominated the album for deletion, largely because of the same problems faced by the band. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Journey (Verity album). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:26, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. This is almost a WP:ONEEVENT situation: she attracted some attention in her native South Africa for crowdfunding and selling her debut album online, which was a novel idea in the country at the time, and there is a 10-minute feature on a news programme about it. But there has been nothing since – the album only sold 2000 copies worldwide, and although she started recording a follow-up, it seems that it never materialised. She now makes her living as a motivational speaker, and appears to have left the music industry behind. So her notability rests on being the first South African to crowdfund an album.
