just another band. fails notability guidelines for bands. all sources in the article are primary sources that don't establish notability. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみ, ping me when replying 14:15, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

- Keep as they do have a staff written bio at AllMusic here together with three staff written album reviews there. Also there is an article about them at The Guardian here and a review of one of their albums at the BBC here, and PopMatters here and TinyMixTapes here. Overall there is enough coverage to pass WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 ( talk) 21:38, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Soft Keep This subject meets general notability guidelines.-- Panther999 ( talk) 18:24, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Keep per Atlantic306; the reviews linked clearly satisfy WP:GNG as well as WP:NMUSIC #1 ("the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself"). I suspect there is more, but the ones brought up here are more than sufficient. That being said, the article needs to be rewritten for potential copyvio issues (some of the text is taken from the band's website, or the band's website took it from us, I can't tell which is the case).
