• Delete: their website's dead so I think it's safe to assume they're no longer working together, and there's no evidence that they made much of a dent while they were. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:48, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
• Delete - Found 2 RS, not enough. Caro7200 (talk) 14:39, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
• Keep as they do have a staff written bio at AllMusic here] as well as two staff written album reviews which normally indicates that more coverage is available. Will do a full search tomorrow, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:29, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
• Found a lot of articles about them at Punk News, press the search button here, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 15:47, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Comment I've gone through all the links in Punk News. They're either press releases, mentions of support slots or track listings for compilation albums, or interviews with former band members: these are all excluded per WP:BAND. I'm not convinced that the AllMusic sourcing amounts to coverage in "multiple, non-trivial, published works". ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:19, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
• Merge/redirect to Link 80: I'm not seeing coverage apart from the two AllMusic reviews[1][2]. Punknews does have a review, but that seems to be that reviewer's only review[3][4], and even if that were counted it's not reaching NBAND or GNG. The band is, however, a subsequent project of the members of Link 80, so WP:NBAND#6 does not be apply, but it would be reasonable to expand slightly on Desa (separate sub-section?) there using the three Allmusic refs and limited bits of passing coverage. That said, there may well be offline music magazine coverage due to the era. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 06:39, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
