Started a PROD because the coverage on this page is worthless and I found nothing else online. Seems to be essentially fancruft which is only worth remarking upon because Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is involved. Undid PROD because of the previous deletion discussion from 2006; I hope that's how that works or else this is a big waste of time. That discussion ended in deletion before the article was recreated back in 2011. It's been edited sporadically since but there's not much in the way of big changes, and especially not in terms of sourcing. Can't imagine the current article is even that much different from the 2006 version. See also the PROD on I Love Being Trendy which I looked into and certainly won't be contesting.

Comment. I've added some sources and some history. Do you still think it should be deleted? CT55555(talk) 22:47, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CT55555 Of the sources you added, two are only passing mentions and the third ("Interpolating Relations of Complexity") is just barely more than that. Those are all sources I saw and ignored in my search because they wouldn't save this article any more than anything else I saw about. You'd be better off taking those to Omar Rodríguez-López and expanding that page. Maybe we could justify a redirect then. QuietHere (talk) 10:02, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete they were only together for about a year, I can't find anything about them. No charted singles that I see. Oaktree b (talk) 00:33, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - They are only ever mentioned in the media as an early endeavor by Omar Rodríguez-López who became notable later. This band achieved little in their own right and were purely local. Any sources that mention this band are actually about Omar and/or his later notable bands, and can be used to enhance their biographies. Also note the album article at I Love Being Trendy, which has already been PROD-ded. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:25, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - all the sourcing appears to be passing mentions, and it shows - the article is borderline incoherent. There's hardly enough here to connect any of the disparate sentences. Sergecross73 msg me 15:35, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per below, I'm also okay with a delete + redirect conclusion. Sergecross73 msg me 03:42, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I have added content from this article to Omar Rodríguez-López, as recommended by QuietHere. I think therefore the most drastic action that ought to follow this AFD is a redirect there. CT55555(talk) 01:32, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I will support a redirect to Omar_Rodríguez-López#Startled_Calf_(1991–1992) now. QuietHere (talk) 02:03, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
