Fails WP:N/WP:BAND. A WP:BEFORE search turned up the usual unreliable sources: social media, streaming/purchase services, forums/Reddit, and plenty of amateur music sites—but I was unable to find significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources. (It's a shame because I quite like the band. Unfortunately, my approval is not as yet criteria for notability.) Woodroar (talk) 22:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

- Delete: Self-promotional twadded, self-released music. They can call us back when the world has noticed them, but so far, this is just north of WP:NFT. Ravenswing 23:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Note that the band was apparently named after a children's book, which makes their goofy name even tougher to search for. I managed to find some evidence that they have a cult following and some respect among other math rock geeks: [1], [2], [3], and I found one reliable album review: [4]. So it's not as dire as the previous commenters imply, but despite a lengthy career I think their media notice is too spotty and inconsistent for the WP:SIGCOV standard, and there's not much reliable from which to build an encyclopedic article. Dig those wacky song titles though. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:21, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:BAND. Don't see where to redirect to. Suitskvarts (talk) 19:22, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- Delete interestingly this is a book title. There is no SIGCOV for this band. Just a few interviews. Lightburst (talk) 14:39, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
