Severe lack of independent coverage to satisfy WP:MUSIC, a Google News search said much the same. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 02:54, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I did find a slightly okay reference and added it, but still seems to be lacking. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 03:31, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Entry in McFarlane's encyclopaedia. Multiple album releases through Half a Cow. duffbeerforme (talk) 09:58, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Duffbeerforme: How do either of those denote notability? Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 20:51, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: McFarlane's encyclopedia isn't a reliable source (nevermind for establishing notability). I'm not seeing the coverage needed. The only chance I'd see is the claim of being signed to Half A Cow, as they might be a notable independent label (thus meeting #5 for ensembles on WP:NMUSIC, but the Half a Cow article is almost entirely unsourced, and most of the musicians/ensembles listed on their page don't appear to necessarily jive with the claim (and have substantial sourcing issues themselves). I'd need to see a lot more reliable sources all around here. In fact, I'd say a number of these other associated articles probably need some serious scrutiny to make sure they conform with WP:BLP.

Comment McFarlane is definitely an independent reliable source. Dan arndt (talk) 02:24, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
