I came across this via speedy and had deleted it and its single, then thought better of it and undeleted it. There was some notability asserted here and I could find a source. I redirected the single to the main article, but I just can't find enough to show that this group ultimately passes WP:BAND. Rather than PROD it, I'm bringing it to AfD in the hopes that someone can find sources for this and flesh it out. I tried searching, but there's a huge language barrier here, as I don't speak French. I also had some trouble running into false positives and random searches since the band's name brought up more than a few science related pages. If anyone wants to userfy this, I'm all for it. I'm also willing to withdraw the nomination if some French-savvy editor can establish enough notability to keep this. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:27, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Lots of French-language coverage can be found if you search for "Final State groupe". A few examples: [1]; [2]; [3]; [4]. From these articles, it seem that they've played major festivals (including SXSW), have released a couple of albums, have received government support for touring abroad and have gathered some buzz. But surprisingly, they have also failed an AfD vote on fr.wikipedia.org [5] --Xuxl (talk) 11:08, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete fails WP:GNG, Seems the French WP aren't so keen on the article either. -
