Was declined three times at AfC, by Anarchyte, CNMall41, and AngusWOOF, after which it was simply created in mainspace. Fails WP:GNG, should be a redirect, since it is mentioned at the The Masked Singer article.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:52, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect - Redirect to The Masked Singer (Australian TV series), but do not delete. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:21, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Masked Singer (Australian TV series). Either way, this is an unsigned indie band that is notable simply for a (minor) controversy.--Gen. Quon_[Talk] 21:24, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that I have provided many sources that show this band is not notable simply for the controversy but because of their multi-platform online presence. I would have continued to work on a draft after it was rejected by but that was not an option. Brian.butt (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would have continued to work on a draft after it was rejected by but that was not an option. I have added more sources using the search link that is provided in the deletion flag. The current "notability" standards are not sufficient for a streaming music society. Because the streaming platforms do not share total streams in a similar method to radio stations artists that are not associated with established record companies are held to a higher standard than those that are signed but have a smaller fan base.

Keep - I have found one source from a French magazine, listing Halocene among other famous Youtube cover bands. This indicates the notability of the band outside of the controversy with Masked Singer. Skimel (talk) 03:46, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please site it in the article or provide a link so that I can? Brian.butt (talk) 20:28, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
