Do not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. Most sources available appears to be routine coverage. Two previous AfDs however no more recent sourcing appears to be out there. Mdann52 ( talk) 11:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Weak Keep - Since the last AfD they finally achieved a few feature articles in their local news media, currently at footnotes #1 and #3. They might just barely meet the minimum requirements for reliable coverage at WP:NBAND, though I will not dispute anyone who questions whether those sources are significant. The band's name is brilliant BTW. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 18:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC) reply

Yeah, I don't think those are "significant" hence the nomination (and I would argue those sources are routine, but that's open for debate I guess!) Mdann52 ( talk) 07:58, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply

• Keep as well as the feature articles mentioned above they also have an AllMusic staff written bio here although it is on the short side. Haven't done a full search yet. There is also the claim that they had a release chart on a specialist Billboard Regae chart. Atlantic306 ( talk) 21:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Keep - I've noticed many past users have tried to add this article to Wikipedia several times, and it definitely has enough sources to prove its notability. I've seen articles on the site with far less sources that are significant enough to keep. BeatBro ( talk) 00:17, 21 June 2024 (UTC) reply
• Keep The two articles mentioned by Doomsdayer [1] [2] show sigcov. Footnote 5 [3], although an interview, has a decently long intro. I'd argue that these meet the GNG. The other two footnotes don't count, as one is a show announcement and the other is way too short. The News Herald source mentions that "The Hip Abduction has embarked on a national tour that began in early March." Since that was 2020, I'm not sure how the tour ended up going, but it should meet item 4 of NBAND: Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of [...] a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
