Fails WP:BAND and WP:BIO. Fail to identify notability from sources, which seem to be mix of entertainment blogs and invalid entries. scope_creep (talk) 10:59, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Czar, please add the sources, and text if applicable, and ping me. Bearian (talk) 21:10, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearian, they're currently in the article (refs 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11–13). Might have been one or two more small things I found outside, but Fader and Vice are good sources, City Paper is local but okay, the question is just whether this coverage together is significant. I remember at least one being at extended length. czar 21:16, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Czar, I agree that City Paper is reasonably reliable. Please continue to work on this article to bring it to WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 21:23, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I hadn't worked on the article (I was actually just passing through to close it when I looked at the sources), but I cleaned it up a bit. Again, I don't think it's a strong case, but the Vice Noisey source is great for detail and expansion. Based on the current bibliography, I think there's adequate support for an article that does justice to the topic. czar 07:13, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Excellent work Czar. If it is reasonably notable, is it worth me withdrawing the nomination today. scope_creep (talk) 11:26, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you're satisfied with the sourcing, sure, but I'm under no illusions that it's a clear-cut case. I think the sourcing is good (read: minimally robust) but I'm open to other opinions. When articles are on the cusp but have enough to cover the basic importance of the topic, I try to be generous. czar 17:37, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
