in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
Hey Metal Music Historian, thanks for the submission and welcome to Wikipedia! I am declining the article since it doesn't quite meet Wikipedia's notability standards for music groups, WP:BAND. I probably would have accepted the article if Saint Diablo had multiple features in newspapers/magazines. I appreciate your thoroughness and I hope you keep contributing to Wikipedia. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Many thanks for the positive feedback on my Saint Diablo submission, Crunchydillpickle! I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know why it was rejected and how it could be improved, however I do have a question or two.
Is Eclipse Records (has a wiki page) considered an important indie label, as defined in item number 5 of WP:BAND? They have a large roster of bands over the years, many of which are independently notable such as Mushroomhead, and Saint Diablo has already released two albums through them, with a third coming out in July.
Regarding them being published in newspapers/magazines, I just saw a new article from ghostcultmag about the new EP, but I did not include it because I had already been working so long on the version I submitted and planned to update it after the album was released.
Also, you probably saw this already, but just in case you did not, I cited articles written about them in The Free Lance-Star (newspaper), several online metal mag-type sites (independent of the band; not Eclipse Records or band published), and the lead singer/band was also included in a rather large, professionally published book about the culture of latin metal.
With the new album coming out, I would think they may get some additional recognition; would you recommend I keep an eye on them and resubmit or are the items I raised above sufficient? Thank you again for your help, I really appreciate it! ... and I'll be keeping an eye out for other bands that may need some help with their pages, too.
