Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/S.O.B. (band)
As  states, the current state of an article is not a reason to delete. A search in Japanese comes up with various sources: http://www.loft-prj.co.jp/interview/0310/06.html, http://gekirock.com/interview/2009/02/napalm_death_2.php, http://realsound.jp/2014/07/post-942.html, http://extremethedojo.com/page/special/verification/grindcore001, http://extremethedojo.com/page/special/verification/grindcore002, http://www.eonet.ne.jp/~radical/old/yousetu04.htm, http://www.smashingmag.com/jp/archives/49099, http://www.hyper-enough.com/jappunk.htm, https://indiesmate.com/rock/grindcore/recording-6/3, etc. There are also as many in other languages: http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2014/11/japan-top-ten-punk-hardcore, https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2012/10/12/the-lazarus-pit-sob-s-what-s-the-truth/, https://www.monochrome-heaven.com/topic/30591-japanese-punk/, https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=pQ1bDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT153&lpg=PT153&dq=S.O.B+Japan+band&source=bl&ots=6baZqxmIRJ&sig=Y5H3OS0bGRb-0AeA358o7m_EZfk&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjot5WMu8zXAhXEo5QKHTlUBWg4ChDoAQg-MAc#v=onepage&q=S.O.B%20Japan%20band&f=false, http://www.johnpeelarchive.com/shane-embury, https://www.letradamusica.net/sob/biografia-artista.html, https://music.mxdwn.com/2017/01/30/news/california-deathfest-announces-2017-lineup-featuring-samael-s-o-b-and-merciless/, https://rockbox.psychocydd.co.uk/details.php?id=a618e047eccb34113d14c2d9a684f8d50aa341be, http://exclaim.ca/music/article/finally_100_greatest_japanese_rock_albums_of_all_time, http://metalbrothers.es/bios/biografias/s-o-b/, etc. Some of these claim the band is quite influential in the grindcore scene, some talk of the influence on Napalm Death, some place their albums in top 10 or top 100 lists for Japanese punk or rock. I am not familiar with music-related sources on the net, however, so I don't know how many of these are RS. But there seems to be a good amount to consider
