Article about a band with no
reliably sourced claim to passing
WP:NMUSIC. In fact, the band's own self-published Facebook profile is the closest there is to a reference anywhere at all here -- and while there have been other references in the article in the past, none of them were good ones: even at its best, it was referenced entirely to WordPress or Blogspot blogs and PR platforms, and has never in its entire history shown even one genuinely reliable or notability-supporting source at all.
There's also a
conflict of interest issue here, as the article was created by somebody whose user name was strongly suggestive of a PR agent ("Oneuppr") and has since been frequently edited by the subject himself -- although that hasn't rendered the article's writing tone advertorialized enough to speedy, it does still suggest that the core goal here was to use Wikipedia as a publicity machine instead of an encyclopedia.
As always, the notability test for musicians or bands is not just that their own self-published social networking presence verifies that they exist: it is that reliable sources, independent of the subject's own marketing, cover them in the context of something that satisfies an NMUSIC criterion. But nothing like that is being shown here at all, and there's no prior version I can restore that did a better job of showing anything like that either.
