Art of Dying (band)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Band with one self-released album. Article started life with the hijacking of a redirect page and has remained without references for over a year. Recent conflict of interest editing. Many ghits for "art of dying" but mainly in other contexts. See also Art of Dying (album). Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:23, 23 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Passes WP:BAND criterion 6. Band has 2 members from Canadian rock outfit Thornley, who charted a a pair of number 1s in Canada. COI issues are quite apparent in the article, however, and will have to be dealt with otherwise. Article needs cleanup and major POV work. 81.51.89.187 (talk) 18:33, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The article actually says "Outside of the core members of Jonny and Greg, Art Of Dying has always had a cast of revolving players, including...", so they're not regular members. And given recent hijinx with an IP editor refactoring and removing talk page comments, I'd like to see those claims verified. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 19:10, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Source found for Tavis here, which satisfies criterion 6. However, I also found copyvio here. Hacking off offending sections. If there's more than the bio and reviews, I'll speedy. 81.51.89.187 (talk) 20:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
