I don't believe this band passes WP:MUSICBIO. No charting singles, no album reviews. Indie label does not lend to notability. Only possible exception is that they were involved in a tour with Celtic Frost, but I'm not sure that counts per the guideline. Request other eyes. لenna vecia  13:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

 * keep at least one member of the band is notable, and they have toured and performed with several notable acts. They have also put out 4 albums on a notable indie record label.Ridernyc (talk) 13:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per point 5 of WP:BAND - they've had 4 albums released on Candlelight.  Lugnuts  (talk) 13:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Can someone explain how Candlelight meets the notable indie record label criteria? لenna  vecia  13:53, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Says it right in the article "The label is notable for putting out early releases from influential bands such as Opeth and Emperor." Both are very notable bands. Ridernyc (talk) 14:00, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * So two bands constitutes many? لenna  vecia  14:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * How many place are you going to have the same debate see my reply here Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Music. Ridernyc (talk) 14:21, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently two, considering that's how many places it's relevant. لenna  vecia  17:55, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Charting singles is irrelevant in black metal, they have plenty of album reviews, have toured extensively with notable bands, have received plenty of press attention, are signed to renowned label Candlelight, and feature drummer Frost. Dark Prime (talk) 14:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Apparently, they've had album reviews done, and they're on a notable independent record label. Tim  meh  ! ( review me ) 16:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Punkmorten (talk) 08:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep 1349 is one of the most notable bands in the Black Metal movement. For example, there are scores of album reviews for them. Hervegirod (talk) 10:52, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Faip-05 (talk • contribs) 12:45, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Well, this article does have a firm stance on nobility. There is one band member with a wikipedia article of his own (Frost; they are signed to Candlelight Records; all their albums have wikipedia articles; all four of their full-length releases have been released through Candlelight Records. There is way too much notability here for this article to be deleted. Backtable Speak to Me  about what I have done  03:59, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, they have had a touring musician that has a wikipedia account (Tony Laureano), if that counts for anything. Also, just because a band doesn't make the music charts doesn't mean that they should be deleted from wikipedia. Another note is that it seems that the vote, so far, is unanimous to keep this page. I'm pretty sure I know what will happen to this page. Backtable Speak to Me  about what I have done  04:07, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
