Delete Breathless in tone and lacking any independent reliable sources, it clearly fails
WP:NBAND, notability cannot be inherited by supporting other bands or recording cover versions of notable bands.

Keep. Yes. There are issues with tone and referencing within the article itself. However, deletion is not cleanup. And a lack of sources to support an article's text doesn't equate to a lack of sources to support a subject's notability. In terms of
WP:NBAND, the subject meets criteria 2 ("single or album on any country's national music chart"). This is stated in the article and supported by
the relevant entry in the Irish single's charts archive[1]. Which confirms that the band charted a single in 2002 (in the Irish top 20 for 3 weeks). In terms of
WP:SIGCOV, a quick
WP:BEFORE search in national media/news sources (like national broadcaster
RTÉ), return coverage and reviews of
severalalbums, evidence of
radio play/coverage, and
news of performances/etc. Similar coverage appears in national newspapers, like
The Irish Independent (2014) and regional papers including
Sligo Champion (2005) and
Connacht Tribune (2013). Nom notes that own
WP:BEFORE was perhaps incomplete. While my own WP:BEFORE was also not tireless, even a quick search has thrown up evidence of national coverage, national air play, charting in national singles chart, etc. Mine is a "keep" recommendation.

Keep as per the reliable sources coverage identified above and for charting in a national music chart to pass criteria 2 of
WP:NMUSIC so that deletion is unnecessary in my view,
