Of the sources referenced in the article, all seem to be unreliable, user-generated, or promotional (Genius, We Own The Nite NYC, Thegroovecartel). The closest thing to reliable that might be in here is the FMS-mag article, but even that is an interview and not usable for establishing notability. From my searches, I could not find any further coverage in reliable sources, so it fails WP:GNG. Also, the article appears to be AI-generated.

• Delete – Agree with analysis of existing sources, I couldn't find anything new in English or Swedish-language sources either. AlexandraAVX (talk) 16:03, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - can't find any mentions in Dagens Nyheter, SvD, GP, HBL, Sveriges Radio, Expressen, or PressReader. That's a very unlikely result for a genuinely Swedish notable subject. Zzz plant (talk) 18:35, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - no real notability at this point at least.BabbaQ (talk) 16:51, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: Did my own search for sources and ran into the same problem as everyone else. It's not a criteria or how we should judge notability, but only ~5k monthly listens on Spotify doesn't suggest they're likely to have received the coverage needed to meet notability either.

  Actually, that said over 1m plays on two of their songs is decent (albeit not notable), and searching the album they're from turned up a couple of other results from cultr and loudcave, which in addition to the FMS-mag article would be three reliable sources? I'm still leaning delete but am swaying towards keep. Nil🥝 00:06, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
