Article on a Non notable band Archivey (talk) 23:35, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Comment - Googling suggests they have toured extensively in Japan and Europe but only performed in America once so reliable english sources on them are sparse. They recently signed with a major japanese label. Perhaps someone that knows japanese could do more research.Nathan Orth (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment According to the Spanish Wikipedia article, they've been featured in two different German magazines (Astan Magazine and The Dose). I suggest more research in European languages as well. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:50, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

:: Other Wikis are not reliable sources, to appear on En Wikipedia it must assert notability, which it doesnt per WP:BAND Archivey (talk) 19:36, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::: Ahem. This is why I didn't !vote keep based this. I was pointing out that coverage in other languages has been reported and needs to be searched for before we can conclude whether the band is notable. —Quasirandom (talk) 19:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Comment Significant coverage in foreign magazines and/or newspapers is enough to assert notability. Coverage does not have to be in English. LK (talk) 15:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep Not everything out of focus is worth deleting. The article didn't harm anybody for the last two years and the band has lots of Google hits. BTW: She's the vampire, he's the killer.--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 22:47, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep I'd say keep it but it would need to be extended and made more reliable, there are no references or notes to suggest that anything within this article is true afkatk (talk) 04:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
