The band are on the 6music playlist, it's a national station in the UK. They have also been reviewed in NME.

There's no assertion of notability in the article. If you assert verifiable notability in the article text, then it will no longer meet speedy deletion criteria. To allow you to do this, I will remove the tag. Thank you. --

The band's single Pink Squares is in rotation on
6 music,
Xfm, and
Virgin Xtreme; I feel that notabiltiy for inclusion on Wikipedia has been asserted, despite the fact that the stations listed are only nationwide with digital radio.

If anyone still doubts the band's notability, maybe stop being so lazy and Google it, where you will find plenty of sources that can be used to improve the article. --

Michig Perhaps you could
WP:AGF. For what it's worth, I *did* google them and looked through some papers and I came up with a ton of unrelated items and passing mentions, or
run of the mill coverage such as
this and
this. Neither of which provide
in depth coverage necessary to warrant an article and to add to that, the only results I've generated are from the same website. If you have sources, by all means, please provide them instead of name calling? You're welcome to improve the article as well. CHRISSYMAD❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:30, 4 November 2017 (UTC)reply
I didn't call anyone names and don't appreciate the suggestion that I have. There's a ton of coverage out there and yet we have repeatedly had people trying to delete this article. --

Michig "maybe stop being so lazy and Google it" is pretty much name calling and isn't exactly assuming good faith. Can you please provide the sources? I'd gladly withdraw my nomination given adequate sourcing, which I was unable to find after some
WP:BEFORE. Thanks! CHRISSYMAD❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:52, 4 November 2017 (UTC)reply
Additionally, if there's been so many attempts to delete it, why hasn't this article been improved with said sources? Right now we have a bunch of things that are non-sources. 2 is a blog post (primary), 3 is a myspace page (primary), 4 is a lastfm profile (not even remotely relevant to Wikipedia, 5 is a tweet (primary and not rs), 6 is a myspace announcement with no actual source and also primary. I couldn't find *anything* in the way of coverage. CHRISSYMAD❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:53, 4 November 2017 (UTC)reply
No, it's not name calling. See the AfD. If I can find these sources within a few minutes of Googling, so can other people. If the article is poorly sourced that has no bearing on the subject's notability. --
