The result was delete. User:RickinBaltimore makes a reasonable argument how they might meet WP:BAND, but that doesn't seem to have gained traction. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:36, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Brutality (band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Recreated article which was previously deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brutality (band). This latest version has more content than the one which was deleted, but it still has not been established how this band satisfies WP:BAND. Article has been tagged with one source since January 2013 and the only source cited is a trivial one which does nothing to establish the band's notability for a stand-alone article. I've tried finding better sources, but have not had much luck. I also asked about the band at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Metal/Archives/2016/August, but got no response. Article was recreated by the same editor who created the version which was deleted according to the admin who closed the first AfD and it was recreated only about two months after the first AfD was closed in 2006. Ten years and only a single trivial source seems to indicate that this band simply has not received the significant coverage needed for a stand-alone article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:23, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This might be a subject for discussion here, but I believe the band meets WP:BAND specifically criteria #5: Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable). They have had multiple albums released on Nuclear Blast, which I think would be considered an "important indie label" (having signed Slayer, Opeth and Fear Factory for example). The article however does need a lot more sourcing. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:31, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete This band shows NO evidence of notability whatsoever. There are no references in this article. That should say enough. In my opinion, there should be a banning or blacklisting of this band during the third nomination for spamming Wikipedia. Scorpion293 (talk) 02:59, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete After reviewing their discography, I'm not convinced that WP:BAND criteria #5 applies. Otherwise, they have the coverage in WP:RS that one would expect for a local or regional niche band. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:03, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
