Band which does not pass either WP:NBAND or WP:GNG, unsurprising given how new it is. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:44, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

• Weak delete PROMO article. Cannot see anywhere suffuicient IRS to support WP:NEXIST so does not get close on notability. Aoziwe (talk) 12:21, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

::Changing from delete to weak delete on the basis of some references highlighted below. The article is borderline WP:TNT and needs a rewrite to dePROMO it. Aoziwe (talk) 23:21, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

• This page absolutely should NOT be deleted; although the band only has one full-length studio album out, it is on a major U.S. record label and they're currently blowing up following a huge SXSW presence last year. They are going to be a huge presence on lineups on the festival scene next spring and summer. Request to delete seems to be from one individual's bias.Writer1977 (talk) 17:35, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
• Keep. Where are the Delete !voters looking? Just a quick Google found [http://www.sfexaminer.com/australias-castlecomer-rise/ SF Examiner], [https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/sydney-band-castlecomer-comes-of-age-20141126-11tzo2.html Sydney Morning Herald], and [https://www.popmatters.com/castlecomer-review-2617883150.html?rebelltitem=1#rebelltitem1 PopMatters], in addition to the reliable sources already in the article. Satisfies WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC criterion 1. --Michig (talk) 08:28, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

• Keep: there's also the AllMusic biography and this piece from Riff magazine [http://www.riffmagazine.com/features/castlecomer-pulls-fire-alarm/] which I think is reliable – it might be a little WP:TOOSOON but I think there's enough to pass WP:GNG and WP:BAND. The promotional content in the article needs toning down, though. Richard3120 (talk) 23:05, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
• Keep. As others noted, a quick google search found many reliable articles for this band, which is signed on a major label. This passes WP:NMUSIC criteria 1 and 5. The article still needs serious revision, like adding in new sources and following WP:LEAD. Also something to note is that Writer1977 is being paid to write this article, which is why it is so promotional in nature.Awsomaw (talk) 01:24, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
