Can't find any reliable sources covering this band. Of the existing references, three are just directory listings from Discogs, which isn't considered an RS. Both of the remaining two are dead links. Looking at archived versions, we can see that one is to IDN Music, which seems to be another directory type site. It has a smattering of reviews on the page, but none seem to be from reliable sources, or even sources that still exist. They look like transient zines or random individuals. The second is from industrial.org, and it looks like a blog post from another random person. This page is little more than a redundant discography. —Torchiest talkedits 04:26, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete - The nominator's reasoning is solid. If this group used guns and tear gas and explosions on stage, they probably got few gigs and therefore little reliable coverage. The creators of this article don't even know the group's full membership and discography, further indicating an absence of coverage. I managed to find a few minor gig announcements like this: [1], but otherwise the group apparently craves obscurity so they don't need to be here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:13, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete No evidence of notability; also, the article reminds me more of a blog post or fan site than an actual Wikipedia article. Some quotes from the text: "To further confuse and alienate we released a pop song called Auschwitz Fuck." ("we released"?? oh my god.) "The complete discography of E.C. is unknown." "The Eugenics Council was founded in 1995 by D.N." As we all supposed to know who "D.N." is. These all just convince me that this is 1) not a Wikipedia article, 2) absolutely devoid of any notability. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:53, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
