Delete: generally couldn't find very many sources on them. has the AllMusic bio and ratings for their two albums, but not much else.Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 22:14, 5 December 2023 (UTC)- Keep per the newly-found sources. Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 00:24, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- I have a strong suspicion that this dance music act should be presumed notable. The relative lack of available sources is more likely due to their prominence in the 1980s/1990s, with published articles not making it through to the internet age. At minimum TimeShard appears to meet:
- WP:NBAND#12 - substantial segment on a national radio broadcast (they had a session on BBC Radio 1 in 1994).
- WP:creative#2 - innovative in the dance music scene as one of the first live dance music acts.
- Keep I have added sources to the article which are sufficiently reliable for both of these to meet WP:V, including the allmusic bio and Resident Advisor coverage, which both contribute to WP:GNG. I have also added a 1994 gig review in Melody Maker [1], a 1994 interview in The Mix [2], and a 1994 feature in Generator Magazine [3]. I will continue to look for further sourcing, but these multiple sources are now supporting notability per WP:NBAND#1. ResonantDistortion 23:23, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
