Shaker (band)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Completely unsourced article about a band with no strong claim of meeting WP:NMUSIC; updated so rarely that a debut album that they recorded almost ten years ago is portrayed as still in production and pending future release. According to the only non-trival source I can find about the band, what happened is that they broke up before the album was released, with the result that it didn't come out until 2013 — at which time they played one reunion show to support it. But I can't find any evidence that it garnered any significant airplay or did much of anything on the charts, WP:NMUSIC requires a full-scale tour rather than a single show at Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern, one legitimate source isn't enough to get a band past our inclusion gates on GNG grounds if they don't pass any NMUSIC criteria, and the only substantive "update" that's been made here is that several of its members are now playing with other non-notable bands. I'd be happy to withdraw this nomination if good sources, supporting a real claim of notability, could be added — but I can't see how that's particularly likely here. Delete.
