There's reliable coverage from The Austin Chronicle, including this EP review, but most of it is very brief concert announcements. Outside of that, I couldn't find anything of value. Seems the band was prominent locally but never broke through outside of their city. It's at least a step above GARAGEBAND, but I still don't think it's enough.

- Keep secondary album reviews in a number of sources, that are now cited in the article (since nomination). Coverage could be better, but enough to meet the WP:MUSICBIO bar. ResonantDistortion 00:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- It is very slim coverage indeed, including one Austin Chronicle concert review in which the band only gets three sentences and is called "yet another underrated Austin band". That the Chronicle also gave an album review, as did AllMusic and Glide Magazine (about which there has been no discussion/consensus that I'm aware of), is promising, but it is the bare minimum at best. The other sources, Glorious Noise and Surviving the Golden Age, I've never heard of, and neither looks particularly promising. It's better than what I had initially, but I still don't think I see it. Perhaps if Glide got more careful consideration and proved out then this would be an easier call, but my mind hasn't changed yet. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 01:05, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- As I said, it is on the edge, but there is confirmed significant critical coverage from at least two independent reliable sources, and with multiple staff reviews in Glide magazine and the CMJ confirmed radio airplay I'm prepared to give benefit of the doubt and presume notability. Particularly as most of their works were c. 20 years ago which makes finding readily available sources a little more challenging. ResonantDistortion 10:09, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO by a long way. There is nothing there. It seems to be a fan response. scope_creepTalk 08:29, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
