This band doesn't seem to be notable. The only sources in the article are primary except for a music blog and I didn't find anything in-depth about them in a search. AllMusic has a page about them, but there doesn't seem to be any reviews of their music. One of their albums apparently won "The 8th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Punk Album." Whatever that's worth to notability. IMO nothing. So, I don't see anything here that passes WP:NBIO or WP:NMUSIC. Adamant1 (talk) 22:15, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[]

Delete - Note that the band is known under two different names and both come up in searches: Steve E. Nix and the Cute Lepers, or simply Cute Lepers. For notability, it's a close call. The nominator is correct about AllMusic, where the band has a brief biography but no critical reviews of any of their albums. They did win the Independent Music Award, but that is only ever mentioned at the award organization's own websites, indicating that the award is non-notable with no outside media coverage. They also have some pretty robust record company promotional sites, indicating support from the industry, but those are not independent of the band. Otherwise they can only be found in the usual streaming and retail services. Unfortunately, I must conclude that they're close to notability but not quite. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:28, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[]
