Nominating as a result of Articles for deletion/Antagonist A.D., which deleted a cut and paste copy on the grounds of notability. I'm not convinced that the band is non-notable, but music is not my area of interest. If kept, the article should be moved to the current name. The previous AfD under this title was for an unrelated band. gadfium 21:50, 27 November 2008 (UTC) dramatic (talk) 22:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - but move to correct name Antagonist A.D.. Sources and  are reliable, their coverage is non-trivial, and although partially based on a press release there are indications of independent jorunalism also. Two albums released, both in two countries, on genre specialist labels. Plus extensive touring in two countries . passes general notability and WP:MUSIC clauses 1,4,7
 * Keep, passes WP:MUSIC for the gigs in the States. While the Amplifier.co.nz & Muzic.net may be reliable sources, they are far from third party, since the bands themselves edit those profiles. Also support starting a new article under Antagonist A.D., and revert the history back to the American based Antagonist band.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
