Fails WP:NBAND, the only source I could really find was this [1], which reads pretty like a promotional piece, not suitable for establishing notability. - CHAMPION ( talk) ( contributions) ( logs) 06:44, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. I also found a PopMatters review ( [2]), and they appear to included in this from Christianity Today, but not enough to suggest an article is justified. -- Michig ( talk) 07:19, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

- delete Doesn't meet WP:NBAND and the coverage doesn't seem like enough to meet WP:GNG. A short review and something that looks like an article but ends as a promotion for their current gig isn't enough. Sandals1 ( talk) 15:57, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
- delete There's a modest amount of small time coverage in insignificant sources. Nothing reliable other than an example of trivial content from "local scene" write-up by a "special correspondent" in the Chicago Tribune. Everything else seems to point to being sourced from the band's own defunct website. Article written and updated by an editor who seems to have SP interest in a couple of pages for community college activities. It almost seems like this band/article was a college project that was abandoned after graduation. The independent label they released under appears to be non-notable. 19:35, 28 December 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ShelbyMarion ( talk • contribs)
- Delete Does not meet WP:PSTS or WP:NOR. This article could be part of a larger article, more localized musical movement; but it is, heretofore, not noteworthy. Ventric ( talk) 01:44, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
