Article is quite old, band seems to be long-since defunct. No real evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC. No hits, no awards, no label, etc. None of the links are archived on archive.org, two are just listings on the programme for a festival. The BBC interview is the most promising but an interview alone wouldn't support an article, and looking at the URL it seems like it was actually a promotional listing for that same festival, rather than a journalistic interview. Googling around it seems to mostly be Wikipedia mirrors at this point. Here2rewrite (talk) 20:26, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I found some media coverage from 2010 and apparently they were active as late as 2011, but mostly it's just Wikipedia mirrors. --Un assiolo (talk) 20:39, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks OK to delete. That 2010 interview on Surrey Live consists mostly of deliberately nonsensical quotes by band member Graham Hill. Attention-getting, yes. Notable in the Wikipedia sense, no. Cielquiparle (talk) 22:17, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No sources found for this band, only two hits on the word in Gnews, one of which is in German, both are unrelated. Article now is thread-bare with minimal sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 22:50, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
