Blood Red Eagle

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

Essentially fails WP:MUSIC. This is a slightly tricky one, as it could easily come across as an WP:IDONTLIKEIT nomination, particularly given my slightly protracted discussion with another user on the talk page as to whether a band playing concerts to celebrate Hitler's birthday are neo-Nazi or not. Whatever. The claim to notability is that said concert was featured somewhat prevalently in the New Zealand press; I've removed two references which have long since disappeared (and I cannot access via the Internet Archive) but in the interests of fairness, recall at one stage did indeed exist. However, this solitary claim to notability essentially fails WP:BLP1E. There is nothing else to confer notability per WP:MUSIC... no releases at all on notable labels, no significant third-party coverage etc. etc., although with niche genres sooooo underground as Rock Against Communism, this is unsurprising. It is worth pointing out however that there are many Nazi-friendly / White Supremacist bands out there for whom notability is easy to establish, so that in and of itself does not argue for keeping it.

 * Delete The only coverage in reliable sources appears to be about their appearence at this birthday concert and that does not appear to go beyond the non trivial (eg, the reference used just says "are bringing Australian "viking rock" band Blood Red Eagle to play in the capital tonight"). Unless their record labels are important they satisfy nothing in wp:music. Duffbeerforme (talk) 06:59, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
