They exist, but I couldn't establish that they meet WP:NBAND or WP:GNG. This has been in CAT:NN for 14 years, so hopefully we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 16:51, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have just seen this AfD. Can I request another relist please, to give me time to look for sources? There is RS coverage here stating significance:[1]. ResonantDis_tortion 06:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep After digging-up several more sources (including both independent coverage and album reviews) I have added these citations to the article, and also cleaned up the text and the general tone. There is now sufficient independent WP:RS coverage that the subject has WP:V evidence to meet WP:NMUSIC#7, most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city, and also the Outcast Band should meet WP:NMUSIC#1, Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. It should also be noted that the band was very active in the early 1990s, and we can therefore presume there is high likelihood of offline coverage.
