Not notable. Being in a specialist encyclopaedia is insufficient - a specialist encyclopaedia will obviously have lower notability requirements than a general one. Tango (talk) 12:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Given that a specialist encyclopedia is paper, and we're not, I'd say the reverse. Keep.--Scott Mac (Doc) 12:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just looking at WP:MUSIC for the sake of argument, my first impression is that the closest this article comes to meeting the criteria is by meeting criterion 1, to do with publication in reliable sources. The problem isn't that it's mentioned in a published work (specialist encyclopedia ticks that box for me) - it's just that I can't see where else it is mentioned beyond the trivial, meaning that it fails the criterion in the sense that it is not covered in multiple reliable sources.  If someone can let me know if it is mentioned elsewhere, I am happy to rescind this opinion (or if I fail to, closing admin should weight the comment accordingly) Fritzpoll (talk) 12:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Two albums (issued by a proper record label spending money on them, not by themselves), specialist encyclopedia - what's the criteria this week that this fails? - David Gerard (talk) 16:59, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The solitary source at the moment is not enough, but there is also a Rockdetector entry here, if that's helpful. Not really much else, I could spy. The albums might be enough to pass WP:MUSIC if the label is notable, but I'm struggling to work out whether this is the same Survival Records that started out putting out electronica. They obviously contained members of Mortal Sin, who are clearly notable, so at worst this should be a redirect. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 18:50, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Some coverage exists (source cited in the article is fine, see also this and this), released 2 albums, and members went on to join Mortal Sin, and, apparently also Rainbow. --Michig (talk) 21:53, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - sufficiently sourced. We are a specialist encyclopedia, not just a general one. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 18:06, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
