Notable? GhostDestroyer100 ( talk) 05:44, 9 November 2021 (UTC) Japanese experimental rock band with questionable notability, in my opinion. The cited sources include many dead links and unreliable looking sites. While there is a biography page on Allmusic, it is a general consensus that AM does not necessarily establish notability. During a google search I couldn't find anything better either except a concert review in NYT which I find surprising. But even if Allmusic is considered to be a reliable source, we have two reliable sources but that's not much, and like I said I couldn't find anything else other than the usual stuff (databases, youtube, fansites, trivial mentions...) They don't have an article on the Japanese Wikipedia either. Offline sources might be available but I can't access them. Thoughts? GhostDestroyer100 ( talk) 05:42, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

- Weak keep More coverage here and an album review here, on top of the concert review the nominator posted. Mlb96 ( talk) 03:02, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
- The Chicago Reader is great. I have talked about Allmusic in my nomination, I don't know any more if it is reliable or not. On huwiki it counts as a reliable source, but only if there is a biography or, in the case of albums, a staff-written review. There is one, I know, but I don't really know about Allmusic any more around here... GhostDestroyer100 ( talk) 18:25, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: There has also been review coverage in The Wire (magazine) by David Keenan and Biba Kopf among others. (Unfortunately, my back issues are trapped in the attic so I am not directly referencing them at the moment.) There is also a recent interview with Keenan in The Quietus where he discusses the band ("one of the greatest rock bands of all time" in his opinion) as well as the circumstances of their abandoned concert in Stirling some years back: [1].

- Keep A lot of mentions in The Wire, one of the top publications covering this niche of music, through the years search in back issues, Keiji Haino is notable as a musician on his own with a lot more coverage, but this band is long running and does have a decent amount of print coverage not freely available online.

- Keep as sources provided above appear to be enough for the subject to meet WP:NBAND criterion 1. Qwaiiplayer ( talk) 15:15, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
