The result was keep. Withdrawing per WP:EARLY, some of these could, I admit, have been better researched, thanks to Michig for pointing this out. (non-admin closure) SITH (talk) 14:12, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails the notability guideline for musicians and bands and the general notability guideline due to a lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. De-PROD-ed by Michig along with several others. I was going to bundle these as nearly all of them cite no reliable sources that suggest they pass WP:BAND aside from database-style entries in AllMusic or affiliated sources and were created by the same user, however I am mindful of avoiding a trainwreck so I am nominating each of them individually.

Keep. Satisfies WP:GNG. One of a spate of prods by the nominator in a short space of time. I indicated when I deproded it that I found coverage, which they haven't asked about. Coverage includes [1], [2], [3], plus a Washington Post article that I could only briefly see due to a paywall. There's also a lot of coverage of Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem, which contains members of this band, so a merge there is a possibility. --Michig (talk) 12:24, 23 February 2019 (UTC) See also sources identified in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem, several of which discuss this earlier band. --Michig (talk) 12:37, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as pass of WP:GNG, see e.g. "Folk Music; Salamander reaches crossroad." Gewertz, Daniel. Boston Herald, 03 Dec 1999: S23, and "Music: Salamander Crossing." Bialczak, Mark. The Post - Standard, 07 May 1999: 4, and the especially thorough profile/review "Bottleneck Dreams." Lewis, George H. Popular Music and Society Vol. 25, Iss. 3/4, (Fall 2001): 121-124. That's in addition to the later coverage of the band in the context of the members' subsequent work. Bakazaka (talk) 22:13, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per sources found by Michig and Bakazaka. A quick search of Newspapers.com shows that more are available. The article could certainly be edited to include the start of the band, not just its disbanding, but that is not a reason for deleting it. RebeccaGreen (talk) 02:48, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
