The Kramdens

Unreferenced article, with some advertorialized undertones, about a band with no genuinely strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC as it stands in 2018. While there was once a time when having one independently notable member who qualified for his own WP:BLP was enough to pass #6, that's since been bumped up to two -- and even the one independently notable member gets over on his work as a radio broadcaster, not his work as a musician. Nothing else here really passes any other bulletpoint in NMUSIC, and on a ProQuest search I can't find very strong evidence of a WP:GNG pass -- outside of a bit of purely local coverage in the Guelph-Kitchener-Waterloo triangle itself (but not enough of that to really mount a claim that they would pass NMUSIC #7), all I get otherwise is glancing namechecks of their existence in WP:ROUTINE concert calendars and completely irrelevant accidental text matches in articles about The Honeymooners. A redirect to Craig Norris would also be acceptable, if desired, but nothing here satisfies NMUSIC as it now stands. Bearcat (talk) 21:26, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I am in agreement with the nominator. The band has achieved some local celebrity in their area, but despite a long history I also can find little beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. Craig Norris deserves his own article as a radio personality, and his membership in this local band is already mentioned there. They're close to WP:NBAND notability but not quite. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:35, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Bearcat, there is not enough to establish notability here and does not pass WP:NMUSIC. And yes, when I saw this I thought it would be an article about the Honeymooners, so anyone who votes keep is going to the moon!--Rusf10 (talk) 00:50, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As above, doesn't seem to come anywhere near to passing WP:NMUSIC or WP:Band Deathlibrarian (talk) 01:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
