This band seem to have no notability. The only search results for naked truth that talk about the band are links to buy their albums. Snood1205 (talk) 00:53, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

• Comment. "The band seem to have no notability" - what about the two albums on Sony and the entry in The Encyclopedia of Popular Music that much of this article very (too) closely resembles? --Michig (talk) 06:49, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment I could not find the entry in the encyclopedia of popular music. Could you link that by chance, because it'd be quite useful to improve the article. Snood1205 (talk) 12:29, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
    • There are a couple of snippet views in GBooks ([1], [2]) and the whole entry is reproduced at Allmusic ([3]). --Michig (talk) 12:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

• Delete for now because that encyclopedia of popular music and this Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music are the best links there are and I can't find an article for Kerrang at their website. My searches at News, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary found nothing. If they get better coverage in the future, there may be an article there and I would've suggested moving elsewhere but there isn't a good target. It seems I'm the one that tagged it for additional citations in May 2012 and it seems they haven't even received the slightest news coverage since then. SwisterTwister talk 05:51, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

• Keep. Inclusion in the Encyclopedia of Popular Music plus two albums on Sony is plenty to establish notability. Most coverage is likely to be in print sources. --Michig (talk) 11:34, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
• Keep - if the band put out two albums on Sony label it qualifies per WP:BAND —Мандичка^YO 😜 18:55, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
• Keep Entry in the encyclopedia of popular music suggests notability. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 17:26, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
