Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laureate (band)
Local popularity in their own hometown is not the Wikipedia inclusion test for a band — since local "popularity" is a vague criterion that literally ''any'' musician or band can simply ''claim'' to have, just throwing the word "popular" around doesn't accomplish jack split by itself. Rather, getting a band into Wikipedia requires ''nationalized'' achievements, like a hit single on the ''Canadian Hot 100'' or a Juno Award or a national tour that generates media coverage. And almost all of the referencing here is either |blogs or |primary sources, which do not count as evidence of notability at all — the only reference here that's doing ''anything'' in terms of building a claim to passing GNG in ''lieu'' of not actually passing any NMUSIC criteria is the ''Exclaim!'' review, which isn't enough coverage to ''finish'' the job of getting them over GNG if all the rest of the sourcing around it is garbage. So no, nothing here is enough. Note that I've also bundled their one EP which also has an article, as if the band doesn't qualify for one their EP automatically can't have one either
