Truly awesome name for a band, and from what I can see on YouTube great music too. This article was created in 2008, and given its longevity it would appear to merit an AFD discussion (if only pour encourager les autres as a long-standing article from Wikipedia's elder days). WP:BEFORE done, and fails WP:BAND, WP:GNG and any number of other policies and guidelines. Wikipedia is not Encyclopaedia Metallum, though we sometimes wish it might be.

Delete - To make the band's name even more awesome, a tarantula hawk is a real wasp that slaughters tarantulas. Alas, the band of this name is largely invisible, and I can find little beyond basic introductions and directory entries like the one already used at footnote #1. (e.g. [1], [2], [3]) I can find nothing significant and reliable, and they didn't help themselves by calling all their releases Untitled. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:55, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Note - If the band's article is deleted, the hatnote at the top of Tarantula hawk (the insect) should be removed. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:57, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
