I have reevaluated our sources and have included notable newspapers and magazines that have written about the band. I hope this presents an unbiased and truthful view of the band. Please let me know if there is a need for more sources of this caliber, and or any edits that are necessary . Aidangoodman (talk) 20:24, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good work with those amendments and thank you for your COI declaration.
Unfortunately, it appears you are not quite understanding the criteria that qualify a draft page to be accepted on Wikipedia, so I would encourage you to read thoroughly all the links I included in my comment on the draft, especially ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’. For example, in your COI declaration (which, incidentally, should be on your User Page, rather than the Draft Talk page), you say you are "ATTEMPTING TO BE AS UNBIAS AS POSSIBLE. I HOPE TO PRESENT AND ACCURATE AND TRUTHFUL REPRESENTATION OF OUR BAND AND ITS STORY", however lack of bias and accuracy and truthfulness are not the core criteria for a page, rather it is notability. And the sources you include are not sufficiently reliable to meet any of the standards identified in WP:GNG and WP:NBAND, which are the most relevant criteria.
Further, because you have a conflict of interest, the page is required to meet even higher standards.
In my view, a page for your band is WP:TOOSOON. I would encourage you to save the draft somewhere safe on your personal computer (because inactive draft pages expire after 3 months), and in time, as your band hopefully garners notability, add reliable sources that evidence that as they appear, at which point the draft may be worth re-submitting.
(Reviewers please note this comment and others on Talk page.)
I wish you and the band success. Cabrils (talk) 21:23, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
