Article was created in 2008 with a "this band exists" vibe and has been flagged for better sources since 2010. From then until about 2019, their works were only visible in the typical streaming and social media services. It turns out that since 2019, one member has become far more notable on her own: Yola (singer). Now the band is occasionally mentioned in reliable media sources, but only ever as an early stop for Yola, and their works are still not gaining any notice in their own right. Meanwhile I plan to add some info about this band to Yola's article, and I think that will be sufficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: @Doomsdayer520:, do you think a redirect to Yolo's article would be valid, as they are briefly mentioned there now? Richard3120 (talk) 22:56, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Richard3120: I was thinking that if anyone votes "Merge", I have already done it so a simple redirect would work in that case. Policy would dictate whether the article title should be fully deleted, which I recommend but I wouldn't object to a simple redirect. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:42, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect. Paragraph #3 is worth bringing over to Yola (singer) if you can find a source for it. -- asilvering (talk) 00:05, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Yola (singer). Doesn't appear to be independently notable. Lacks significant independent coverage for WP:NBAND. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
