Polaroid Kiss

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While participating in a discussion involving Polaroid Kiss at BLPN I have formed the opinion that the article should be deleted. My reasons are as follows:

There is no coverage of the band in Reliable Sources, The references in the article are to 2 blogs [1] [2], the bands Facebook page, their label's discography, and a passing mention in Side-Line Online. The only mention of this band I could find in a maybe Reliable Source is an alblum release article in Side-Line Online. The alblum Weakness of the Beautiful Souls referred to in the article has never been released though the article was published in May 2012. So I do not know how useful that source, even if RS, is to WP:VERIFY their WP:NOTABILITY.I am unsure if Side-Line can be a RS, I am unfamiliar with it or if that even matters considering..
Polaroid Kiss fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND, Their claim appears to rest on WP:BAND point 6 two or members who are independently notable and they claim several notable members. The problem is there are no sources to back up these claims. The Side-Line Online article, which is the only and closest thing to a RS I could find says there are only two members Brandun Reed and Ian Pickering neither of whom seem particularly notable. All of the notable people are listed at 'guest musician' and 'guest vocalist'. I am not sure if that really matters since the alblum these people are said to be guest artists on has not been released. JBH (talk) 00:46, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted for the reasons listed by User;Jbhunley. Also, Ian Pickering (of Sneaker Pimps) is not a member of Polaroid Kiss, and therefore point 6 of WP:BAND is not a met, and claims of other notable members and guest artists are sourced via Polaroid Kiss' Facebook posts and Twitter.

Comment Checked the new sources and recent changes made to Polaroid Kiss page. They still consist of passing mentions, Facebook pages and links to purchase music. Nothing supports WP:BAND or WP:GNG/WP:ENT for any of the members. There is not significant (or in fact any) coverage in independant reliable sources to verify or sustain an article.
