Fails WP:NBAND as there is no sourced claim of notability within the article. Potentially WP:TOOSOON as they have only released one single and their first album has not been released yet. WP:BEFORE check didn't bring up anything of note. Kirbanzo ^{(userpage - talk - contribs)} 18:13, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would agree that this is premature as it's before the album release. However there are two references here already.

Even if there is a call to delete this, it should be draftified instead. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:21, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as together with the two reliable sources in the article there is also this AllMusic bio here which is significant coverage. Considering their album is yet to release until June the amount of coverage they are receiving indicates it could get a lot of attention, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:58, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or draftify until they predictably get more coverage when they release their first album in a little more than a month. Pichpich (talk) 07:23, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Plenty of coverage already, with just a cursory web search finding [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7]. Easily satisfies WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. --Michig (talk) 21:41, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't know that our encyclopedia is better off not having this article. But I would suggest that despite the plethora of coverage we aren't seeing WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the kind we'd expect to see of a notable entry. And the reason we're not yet seeing sustained is ebcause they've not even released an album yet. But this group is clearly getting major coverage so sure let's have an article.
