Comment: not clear how they pass WP:NBAND? Theroadislong (talk) 13:56, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Some new text referenced to reliable sources has been added. Лисан аль-Гаиб (talk) 01:34, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. At the least it requires multiple independent reliable sources with WP:SIGCOV, not interviews, not promotional material. Lopifalko (talk) 21:00, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
