Art of Hopeless

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Declined CSD, contested PROD. Fails WP:MUSIC and general notability guidelines. No coverage from reliable third party sources. Cntras (talk) 13:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as unambiguous advertising. Some of the phrasing in the article is pretty obviously written in order to promote the article, such as "with the purpose to create musical pieces that remembered a deep artistic sense comes from desolation" and especially "both musicians noticed a special synergy that led them to join forces in pursuit of creating compelling compositions". That there's no reliable sources pretty much confirms that this is a non-notable band. As far as the "award" goes, it should be noted that they received it from "Hellsnoise Radio", which is a user-generated online radio station and blogspot blog. While the blog does seem to have a decent number of followers, it's not a notable blog by any means. The award is not enough to show that they've achieved notability.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 14:50, 13 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79

 * Speedy delete per G11. I have tagged it accordingly. The previous speedy was declined on the grounds that it does not qualify under A7, but I believe it's blatant promotion per Tokyogirl79's reasoning. I haven't taken a look to assess whether this band meets notability criteria, but if it does this article would definitely need TNT. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 15:21, 13 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete is right, I think. A filtered google for AoH without blogs, etc, gave just 41 results, none of them 'reliable, independent' sources usable for Notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
