This is my band. See http://www.initrecords.net

I am in the process of setting up the page. Is there a problem with what is up so far?

• Delete. Thank you for contributing and engaging in discussion, 21-gattinara-24. Wikipedia policy requires that subjects have received substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent from the subject. For bands, that really means that recognized sources of reporting in the music industry need to have written about the band before this project will retain an article about it. I've done some cursory searching, but cannot find anything that satisfies that requirement; indeed, because there's also no credible claim of significance made here, this could be subject to the project's rapid-deletion policy at the discretion of the administrators (WP:CSD#A7). Should this ultimately be deleted, creation of a redirect to Roman navy would be a matter of editorial discretion, as Roman ships currently redirects to that target.

That makes sense. Here are few things, possibly helpful. The previous incarnation of this band had more press / notoriety etc. Sinkingsteps Risingeyes.

• delete I appreciate the list of sources above, but the only one I think might count as being a reliable source is paste, and that coverage is just too limited. So delete per WP:GNG but please feel free to recreate as more sources become available. I'm a bit surprised you don't have coverage in local papers given the Paste article. Some people count those for less, but a nice in-depth article on the band, even in a local paper, would put me on the keep side. Hobit (talk) 12:41, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
