Army of One (Kuwaiti Band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable hip-hop band. Text is biased and the article is promotional. Does not meet the criteria in WP:BAND. I found no sources in which the band was the subject. I am also nominating the following related pages:  An as  talk? 11:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)




 * Weak delete. If Alien Records is notable (which I don't think it is), then weak keep - they've released two albums, but is the record label notable? If not, they don't pass that criterion of WP:MUSIC.-h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 12:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I put an AfD template on the co-nominated article to avoid out of process deletion. MartinDK 12:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, thank you. I must've forgotten to do so. — An as  talk? 14:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete reads as advert, non-notable as Alien Records has just two signed acts - one of which consists of the characters in question (http://www.alien-records.com/sec_artists.php). Bigdaddy1981 02:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. There has been a not-insignificant amount of contribution to this article.  I had never heard of this band but perhaps it is well known in other regions.  AGREED, it does read like a promotion.  Perhaps a revert to and older revision (merging important changes) would work.  From WP:BAND "...failure to meet any of these criteria [notability] does not mean an article must be deleted".  I don't think we're qualified to judge notability of a band based in Kuwait.

 * Delete - fails WP:BAND (noting comment by Tvh2k above) and the entire first section is a copyright violation from [|here]. Euryalus 05:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
