Blood for Blood

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Completely flunks WP:MUSIC, WP:N, and WP:V; editors keep removing tags instead of fixing fatal problems with article; only argument made for keeping is WP:ILIKEIT. THF 10:14, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep They appear to have had some decent success. A few of their albums have been on some reasonably respected labels. They clearly are not mainstream, but notable enough. The article is lacking in sources and that appears to be the sticking point right now. AfD is not intended to be used as a cleanup tool. -- Cyrus      Andiron   13:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, actually meets WP:MUSIC for several albums released on Victory. Punkmorten 14:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, As noted above, Blood For Blood meets the requirements for notability by the fact that they have released multiple albums on a notable independent record label, Victory Records.AndyMcKay 22:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Only one of the labels is marginally notable, and Victory Records isn't especially notable either; that an independent label had the happenstance of a notable one-hit wonder on it doesn't make every two-bit band also on that label notable retroactively.  Notability reflects the fact that a band has been noted by reputable independent verifiable sources, and that isn't the case here.  THF 02:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Victory records has been releasing records for nearly 20 years and have released multiple albums that have been certified gold, and one certfied platinum. They have a roster of bands that are in regular rotation on MTV's Headbanger's Ball.  In the '90s they released some of the definitive straight edge hardcore records from bands such as Earth Crisis and Strife.  Given these reasons, Victory Records qualifies as a notable and important independent record label.  And as stated in the requirements for notability for a musician or group, a band who has released two or more records on a major label, or an important independent record label, qualifies for notability.AndyMcKay 04:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
