Notability of the band Ottto

Hi, I've come across some coverage of this band, but since I'm not familir with the sources and how they're regarded by the project (due to being new to the genre) I'm unsure of if it would be worth it to try to make an article for them. Here is some of the articles I've found that cover the band (including one of their albums): BlabberMouth 1, BlabberMouth 2, MetalInjection, JuiceMagazine, LoudWire, MetalCentral, MetalTrenches, RevolverMagazine, MetalSucks, GuitarWorld, Dallas Observer, San Antonio Current, New Noise Magazine. ★Trekker (talk) 22:49, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there's a list of music reliable sources at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources. The newspaper sources are generally reliable so can be used despite not being on the list, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 21:45, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Something interesting and personal I'd like to note: from what I can tell, this article is the last surviving A-Class music-related article before the rules were changed, and I think that it would be cool to have this preserved as a piece of Wikipedia's history and a bitter shame to lose it. (Unless someone would want to take it to FA one day, of course.) But I can't do this one alone, would anyone be willing to help me repair it? mftp dan ^oops 23:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
