Does not appear to meet WP:NMUSIC. One of their album articles has one source that reviews the album and that's all I can find. Do not confuse this band with Mayday (Taiwanese band) or ¡Mayday!, two other bands that are both actually notable * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. For starters, the Allmusic link in the article shows both a sizeable band biography and sizeable reviews of all three of their albums. Then, when I search for a review of their second album and Pitchfork shows up as the first Google hit, I don't need any further reinforcement to know the band meets WP:BAND#1.

Since Pitchfork was the sole source the nominator could find, as a courtesy I'm also adding the two other extant Pitchfork reviews, as well as the two reviews by Popmatters. Geschichte (talk) 09:20, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I can understand a WP:BEFORE search getting a little crossed up with noise from the other bands with the same name, but this group was widely covered in its day, as one would have expected from a Saddle Creek Records band. The album articles were recently redirected to this band page, and they should be restored; their 2005 release, for instance, meets WP:NALBUM with [1], [2], [3].

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Owen× ☎ 14:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In addition to what has been linked, there is also an article by Indy Week, an article in Spin (magazine), an article in the Dallas Observer, a review in Visions [de], a review by Ox-Fanzine, a review (pages 65-66) in Clamor (magazine), a review (page 40) in SLUG Magazine, and a review in No Depression (magazine). And while I know that interviews don't establish notability, there is an article in the Deseret News among others. toweli (talk) 18:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A good example on a discussion that didn't need relisting. The arguments found in the nomination have been wholly refuted. Geschichte (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
