- Reluctant Delete - (The nomination needs to be far more descriptive.) It is tough to search for this band because the city keeps coming up, but a search in conjunction with frontman Dale Lytle or various album titles leads to disappointing results. Since they started in the 1970s-80s they may have been covered in old hardcopy media, but I can find nothing in Google Books either. I also can find no reliable reviews of any of their albums, beyond blogs and retro fansites. The current article is dependent on sources in which the band was indeed named briefly as members of the LA rock scene, but despite 40+ years it seems that reliable and in-depth media coverage has eluded them and they are largely unknown outside of a small local fan base. That's too bad for a band that has such a long history, but there's very little to work with here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:16, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
To Doomsayer520. I am very unfamiliar with Wikipedia, so please forgive any errors. I just scanned three pages from a print magazine called "Tuned Loud Magazine" from March 2020. The magazine is printed in both Italy and the USA. And Angeles received the cover-article. Inside the Article itself in a 1978 newspaper article describing the band in 1978, as well as how a single-surviving cassette from 1978 was found and released more than 40 years later. I know that the band Angeles has been on three different magazine covers in the late 1990's, but I would have the dig them out of storage, as I purchased them in a large collection with about 3,000 other magazines detailing different Southern California music. I was able to contact the woman who wrote a newspaper article on them back in 1978 for the "Sunland-Tujunga Record Ledger" but she does not have the full-surviving newspaper, just her article fragment. If I could get a bit of time, I could find the other magazines (where Angeles was featured on the cover), and add the sources to the Wiki-Article in order to establish more credibility.
