No evidence of meeting WP:GNG from the article or a google search. Nearly 200 references but many of then are unreliable, primary, mentions - and almost none contain any significant coverage of the subject

Unreliable Sources and Non-Notable Info[edit]

Per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spontaneous Combustion (English band), this article was full of fancruft that is only of interest to esoteric experts and is often backed up with unreliable sources. It is also not Wikipedia practice to list every single one of a band's songs and concerts, especially for a fairly obscure band like this one. They deserve an article in Wikipedia, but one that is far more modest for the interested layperson, with verifiable facts that provide information rather than geekery. As of today the article will be much shorter than previously, as determined by consensus in the deletion discussion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:39, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
