A band that appears to fail WP:BAND. I can find passing mentions of them in the context of the The Transformers: The Movie soundtrack that one of their songs is featured on (such as the cited IGN article) but no significant coverage dedicated specifically to the band. I can't find evidence that NRG shared the stage with any of the artists listed, either. The article doesn't make any claims of notability apart from the Transformers song, as neither the "Formation" nor the "Post NRG" sections contain any noteworthy information. It's probably also telling that the articles on the Transformers film and its soundtrack are the only Wikipedia articles that link to this one.

I do recognize that as they were active in the 80s, significant offline coverage (or simply hard-to-find online coverage) may exist, so if anyone can find any, I will of course be happy to reconsider. Lennart97 (talk) 22:47, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

• Delete - I too can find nothing but chatter about their appearance on the Transformers soundtrack, and none of their other works seem to have gained notice. Note that they can be found occasionally in modern sources, as singer Les Brown is still active but promotes his solo releases via that same decades-past connection to Transformers. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:22, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
• Delete Lacks sufficient news coverage hence fails WP:BAND. Sanketio31 (talk) 15:21, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
• Delete: not enough coverage to pass general notability guidelines. TheDreamBoat (talk) 01:47, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
