Article about a band, not reliably sourced as having any significant claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The strongest notability claim in evidence here is having had mid-level hits on Canada's campus radio charts -- but NMUSIC #2 is only passed by IFPI-certified charts on the order of Billboard, not by ChartAttack or earshot or CBC Radio 3. Otherwise, there's almost nothing else of substance stated here, and other than the WP:BADCHARTS the only other reference here is an unrecoverable dead link from a shortlived alt-weekly in their own hometown -- and even that is being used solely to support a statement that the band got coverage in that publication, rather than any useful or potentially noteworthy information about the band, and one piece of coverage is not enough all by itself to hand them a WP:GNG based exemption from having to pass any actual NMUSIC criteria.
Note as well that the result of the first discussion is not a definitive veto over reconsidering this now, as Wikipedia's inclusion and sourcing standards are a lot different in 2020 than they were in 2006. Bearcat (talk) 17:33, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Not the easiest band name to search for, so sorry if I missed something, but couldn't really find many RS. Caro7200 (talk) 17:46, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
