Seemingly questionably notable and improvable band article as my searches simply found no better coverage aside from some interviews and other passing mentions [https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&q=Soulscar+Vancouver+Canada+metal+music+band here]. As heavy metal is not my area, I'm notifying users interested with heavy metal for their insight {{U|Drmies}}, {{U|The Bushranger}}, {{U|Peridon}} and {{U|The Blade of the Northern Lights}} for any comments they may have.

- Classical's much more my thing, but a quick look here doesn't look especially notable to me? Delete. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:21, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- I'd say Delete too. I've not heard of them (which isn't a deletion reason, of course), but I can't find anything that looks like good coverage in 16 pages of ghits. (I eliminated a fictional character, a garage, and some other irrelevant stuff from the search.) Looks like a project that never really made it. Both references in the article seem to be dead now, by the way. Peridon (talk) 10:00, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete I got nothing from my usual locations either. It's a shame, they're a reasonably good band, but nothing approaching Wikipedia notability. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 15:12, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
- 1960s/1970s Miles Davis is more my thing, but thanks for the ping. Much depends on whether Galy Records fits the bill of WP:BAND #5, since (according to Encyclopaedia Metallum) they have two records with them. But BAND says "may be notable", not "should have an article"; and Galy is a bit iffy since they only exists since 2002 and the first Soulscar album on that label is from 2004; and there's nothing verified in the article or--apparently--elsewhere, so I'm going with Delete.

- It's worth noting here that it's not the claim to passing NMUSIC that gets a band over NMUSIC; it's the quality of reliable sourcing that you can provide to verify the claim. A band can release 100 albums, and still fail WP:BAND #5 if the sourcing isn't there to support an article about them. But what we've got for sourcing here is two deadlinks to sites that don't sound like they were all that reliable even when they were live, and nothing better on the Googles. And that adds up to a delete. Bearcat (talk) 04:49, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
- Delete talk about bare bones in terms of reliable sources. [http://livevan.com/soulscar Live Vans (Vancouver's Community-Driven Concert Calendar)] is about the best source. Fails WP:GNG as well as WP:NMUSIC. --Bejnar (talk) 22:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
