Fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND, only sources are mostly interviews or reviews from non-notable blogs and can't find much sources that prove criteria for inclusion elsewhere Second Skin (talk) 02:53, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
- From WP:BAND they meet #5 ("Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels") with at least 6 full length releases on Metropolis Records, which counts as a significant indie; Note that Chain DLK, Side-line, and Brutal Resonance are indie publications, Side-line in particular having been in existence since the early 1990s when it was print only, and there are unrefed articles on Regen Magazine that could be added. But, agree that coverage is sparse. Found evidence of a track making the iTunes Charts, but I'm not sure that notability criteria have caught up with the digital age. They've also toured nationally, which could cover WP:BAND #4 if sufficiently referenced. -- t_kiehne (talk) 19:47, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

- Delete I did some WP:BEFORE searches for both their first release on Metropolis and their most recent release. Found nothing for the former, and only two reviews for the latter [1] [2], both of which appear to be user-generated content (WP:UGC). Jfire (talk) 03:53, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Imo there's not much coverage or instance for notability. That's not even to mention that the article itself fails to compile almost any information besides just listing members. The group may have went on a few weekend tours, but I can't find much on them besides some fan reviews..almost feels like I was looking up a local band. 148.170.66.14 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:34, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
