Artefact (band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I can't find any asertion of notability here. One third place prize, that's it. No chart successes, either for albums or songs. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart  -  Receive My EviLove  21:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC) I don't agree, of course, since I created the page. About this third prize :at present I am looking for public and official proofs about it. I contacted the band, who said they had a diploma of course (but how can be a paper be a proof on Wiki?), and would see to give me relevant links. So I am waiting for that. But otherwise: it is a third prize in the most important metal festival in the world... well... that means playing with groups like Lordi, Lacuna Coil,Immortal, Dimmu Borgir etc.. etc... But anyway, is notability really only dependent on commercial success? it is what I feel you are saying here. I believe that if this page is deleted, a great number of other pages on black metal bands should be as well, and that might mean notability criteria are really quite different in this area of musical creation, don't you think? I would very much like to get other opinions, thank you.--Ordocello 09:38, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that prize is very close to establishing notability. One more thing should do it. Mention it here if you find anything, I'll happily withdraw the nomination. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart  -  Receive My EviLove  12:22, 11 February 2007 (UTC) OK thank you I shall do What I can. Anyway I put here a summary of all the modifications I have done since the creation: italicizing album names, deleting bold words, citing and referencing influences and facts as much as possible, adding external links where importance of the band could be shown--Ordocello 16:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I think I have found what was necessary : http://several-bleeds-records.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=11&products_id=30

this link is from their label (official website) and show three very good chronicals about Magic Spellcraft

this other link : http://several-bleeds-records.com/rupture/artefact.html shows officially the obtention of the third prize in Wacken Battle and how their music was received there. I have included both links in the article --Ordocello 17:00, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

It's certainly now verified. OK, if no-one says delete in the next 24 hours, I will withdraw and close the nomination. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart  -  Receive My EviLove  20:05, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Nomination withdrawn, if a little late, per the conversation above. As a rule, I never close AfDs, so I don't have a clue how, but this is practically closed :) Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart  -  Receive My EviLove  07:27, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
