Article not demonstrating the assemblage's meeting WP:BAND by citing reliable sources independent of the group (in fact, the three citations are from interviews of group members). Records did not chart; group seems to be known locally as they have not toured. B.Wind (talk) 15:54, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak keep per duffbeerforme; The Minneapolis Star Tribune is a reliable source, which bodes well for finding others. The other sources linked above include a student newspaper and another non-RS website, so I don't see enough to meet WP:GNG right now, but it's likely more sources could be found. --Darkwind (talk) 17:54, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep Notable artist which meets WP:MUSIC criteria 1 (aside from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, I have found an album review from Pitchfork Media and a a story on Minnesota Public Radio) and 6 (group contains independently notable musicians P.O.S. and Dessa). Their second album has been reviewed in a handful of notable publications and I am currently adding those reviews to the page for that album. However, most non-Minnesota news articles I find on Doomtree on Google News Search mostly come up with articles related to P.O.S. and/or Dessa.
