AlogiA (band)

Fails to assert notability. Fails WP:MUSIC/WP:BAND because their releases are not on any notable/successful independent labels. Scarian Call me Pat 16:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Withdraw - I am withdrawing my nomination as notability has been proven. Scarian Call me Pat 03:51, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep In fact, they appear to be signed to some rather important Serbian labels, and would indeed pass WP:MUSIC. The dearth of English-language writing on Serbian music should not prevent us from looking at their music as equally legitimate for inclusion. Chubbles (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - an important label would need to be internationally renowned. If it's an independent label it needs to be well known and have numerous notable acts on it's roster. Scarian Call me Pat  17:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If the label is important within its own country, that is sufficient; they need not be internationally renowned. Chubbles (talk) 17:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes - but how would we know that they're important within their own country unless evidence is provided? Scarian Call me Pat  17:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * At the very least, The Metal Observer seems to think so. Maybe we should ask WikiProject Serbia for help. Chubbles (talk) 18:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Look at the style of writing in that link. That's not a neutral third party source. It's heavily biased. Find something written for a newspaper or something that is from a respected source. Scarian Call me Pat  18:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not terribly well written, but The Metal Observer is nonetheless one of the more well-known metal review and news sites. Again, since most of the coverage for the band is in Serbian, it's difficult for me personally (who speaks no Serbian) to find links (or paper sources - often ignored!) I am requesting assistance at WP:SERBIA. Chubbles (talk) 18:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * (Re-indent) - Fair enough. I look forward to see what you dig up, friend. Scarian Call me Pat  18:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep in the article their two Serbian-language albums are identified as being released on One Records (Serbia), which according to its article has been around several years and has several blue-linked artists who seem significant in the Serbian music scene. Their English-language release is on Locomotive Music, which also has a roster of apparently significant artists (mostly Spanish). So I'd say they pass criterion #5.

 * Keep - it's been established that they meet WP:MUSIC and also nom withdrew.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 07:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
