Delete. Firstly and most importantly, the article cites no reliable source coverage whatsoever to establish the band's notability per WP:NMUSIC — it was "referenced" solely to YouTube copies of their own videos threaded through running body text, which is an WP:ELNO violation and does not represent notability-building sourcing. Secondly, the tone here is highly advertorialized, not neutral. Thirdly, the creator has been movewarring over this, with this being the second time the article has ended up back in mainspace without being properly approved by an AFC reviewer, as the creator has repeatedly either copy-pasted or pagemoved this themselves without waiting for a reviewer to accept it, which is also not acceptable process.
As well, it needs to be noted that the creator has attempted to remove the AFD template from the page, so this will have to be monitored.
In the event that this band actually can be demonstrated as genuinely notable properly, the article would still need to be so massively overhauled for both sourcing and writing tone that WP:TNT applies regardless. Bearcat (talk) 14:22, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
