Fails WP:GNG and WP:V. I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable, third-party published sources. They got played once on the BBC in 2014, but were never placed in rotation. There are a handful of reviews by tiny (i.e., not reliable) music sites and plenty of user reviews on the bigger sites, but no professional reviews. They've released a number of albums, but on their own label. The individual band members are in other bands, but they're not notable as well. The best I can say is that the band does appear to exist though I'm not sure they'd meet WP:BAND even if any of those criteria were sourced. They do have some cool songs and videos at least!

- Draftify. This seems like a well covered and nicely detailed article, and it would be a shame to see it deleted because it doesn't have enough sources to meet WP:GNG yet. Pinging User:Macoron6on to see if he would allow it to be moved to his draftspace. -- Henry TALK 02:34, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
- Comment. After a little more digging, this is probably a WP:COI issue and is definitely a WP:COPYVIO. File:Anoice in Shenzhen.jpg, the main image for this article, is the same image used on the band's website and their Facebook page. Note that User:Macoron6on claimed it as their own work. The initial version of the article appears to have been copied from the band's biography as well. The current version has been edited somewhat but still contains significant blocks of copyrighted text. I'm sympathetic to the above suggestion to draftify the article, but as a copyright violation this would really need to be recreated from scratch. Woodroar ( talk) 04:03, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
