Fails WP:BAND. The group may be notable in the Charlotte, North Carolina post-hardcore community, but they fail notability standards with scant sourcing. KidAd (talk) 22:25, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the editor who created this thinks its meets WP:BAND 5.Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable) as they have released two albums on Tragic Hero Records.

Relisting comment: Not eligible for soft delete due to previous PROD. Suggestion in the history to merge to KIT Walters - is that plausible?

Keep At a basic minimum, they meet WP:MUSIC bullet 5. A thorough search for sources should include contemporaneous potential coverage from outlets like Alternative Press and Absolute Punk, which are going to be difficult to surface through casual Googling.

Keep: a search specific to certain events and geographical region where the band exists indicate some sources. Maco Paco (talk) 11:36, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
