Very little coverage about this band, likely a promotional article. James Richards (talk) 16:40, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have found some sources on reliable sites: Exclaim, Vice, CBC. And this looks reliable too. Other than these the rest of the results are the basic social media pages, streaming service links, concert sites, the sites of their record labels, trivial mentions and blog-like sites.

Keep - It is possibly a little too soon for an article, as the band is early in its history, but since someone made the attempt the band should be judged on its merits. The sources found by GhostDestroyer above help with notability, and they were nominated for a Polaris award, which is a big deal in Canada. The creator of this article should have put in far more effort, beyond merely announcing the band's existence, but I volunteer to expand it if it survives this process. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:40, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per GhostDestroyer's sources and WP:NEXIST. The current state of the article means nothing for notability. (though I did do the smallest of expansions just in case anyone comes along saying that the sources aren't there. still probably needs a deal of work from Doomsdayer but at least there's more than one source) Samsmachado (talk) 04:46, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. To be fair, the article was in very poor form at the time of nomination, basically just stating that the band exists and using a self-published primary source to support the fact — which is not how you make a band notable enough for a Wikipedia article. But the article has been significantly improved since Friday — it is now citing much better sources, and making a strong notability claim (Polaris nomination) that constitutes a straight pass of NMUSIC #8.

Keep as the article subject now clearly passes bith WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:22, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
