AfDs for this article: Articles for deletion/Aquaria
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article's references include only one dead link (Rockdetector) and a two-sentence press release (?) with no named author (Blabbermouth.net), neither of which is in the form of an inline citation (so there is no way to know what information these "references" are supposed to be supporting). Without these, there is no evidence of the subject's real-world notability: none of the band members appears to be notable, and neither of their albums was released under a major record label. Neither has the band won any awards anywhere. Having a link to the band's official website and its MySpace page makes me suspect that this is mostly WP:PROMO. Previous deletion discussions have focused on the fact that the band is covered in foreign language wikis— these wikis have different standards of notability than the English Wikipedia does, and should not be used as reliable evidence of the band's notability for this Wikipedia. A dead link and a press release do not constitute evidence of notability. KDS 4444 Talk  20:41, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
