Recently recreated after being redirected for a couple of years. Previous AFD from 2012 was "no consensus". Lacks for notability. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:26, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - only one RS to prove. Notability problems seem to have remained the same since the notability tag was added in 2012. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 23:26, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I couldn't find the SF Chronicle piece, but that's a major national-level newspaper; and Ref. 9 (Metro Silicon Valley) is a regional source but discusses an upcoming book focusing on the band's label. I think these two are just enough to pass WP:NBAND. If the Chronicle piece turns out to be bogus I could change my mind but for now I think we have SIGCOV.

  I think the piece is here. It feels weak to me and I don't think it is enough but I will look a little more. Moritoriko (talk) 03:02, 19 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: After reading both the SFGate/Chronicle article from 1998 and the excerpt of the book about Asian Man Records I think they are enough to barely satisfy WP:NBAND #1. I'd really prefer 2 records and/or a 3rd article but I doubt anything else big exists. If this closes as keep, the notability tag should be removed as well.

  There is also a short staff bio and short EP review on Allmusic: [1] and [2]. Further, Rolling Stone saw fit to include the band in the list of best songs of 1998: [3]. With the above mentioned sources: Agreed and leaning Keep per WP:MUSICBIO#1. ResonantDis_tortion 13:21, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
