The article does not cite any sources, and it is written like an advert. Seeing how a lot of the content is about the supposed success of this group, references should be a requirement. I am proposing a deletion on the grounds of WP:V and WP:NOTPROMOTION. The multiple issues tags are dated December 2013 and nobody seems to be interested in fixing it, even through it has been actively edited. RoseCherry64 (talk) 21:09, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: needs severe pruning and removal of promotional language if kept, but the claims of two charting songs on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart is true [1]. Richard3120 (talk) 22:14, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as passes WP:NMUSIC criterion two with charting singles on a notable national music chart, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 18:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't suggest that the band was not notable. However, the article is so poor in terms of verifiability and inclusiveness that it would be easier to write a new article than to reword every promotional claim and seek out references to save it. The article has been actively edited by a lot of different editors, none of which are interested in adding references to it. RoseCherry64 (talk) 18:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TNT may be applicable here – no opinion on keep or delete, but if kept, then restart and if deleted, restart with new sources. quick search turned up many results, so this might pass WP:GNG. Redditaddict69 ^(talk) ^(contribs) 04:43, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
