Compos Mentis (band)

Fails WP:MUSIC. No notable sources. No notable label. Undeath (talk) 06:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC) 
 * Keep Plenty of sources, , apparently have toured Europe (WP:MUSIC#4) . Black Kite 07:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Google search brings up plenty of coverage.--Michig (talk) 08:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The first two sources are non notable. Source one is metal archives. That does not constitute notability. The second site is spirit of metal which is just like metal archives. That and on the spirit of metal site, Compos Mentis only has four fans. Now, the third site is iffy. The reverbnation site says that the Compos Mentis article has had 29 hits and 7 fans. Until a site can confirm that the band has toured, they will still be non notable. Look at the reverbnation site, it just said that the band might be touring soon, but it never actually said that the band toured. So, as of now, it still does not meet WP:MUSIC.

 * Delete per Undeath . Sources proving the band exists are not the same as "multiple non-trivial published works", and the 'tour' criterion is IMO the least reliable barometer of notability on the list. There's all the difference in the world between gigging in a pub and playing Wembley Stadium ;) EyeSerene TALK 19:03, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Per the sources below, which I believe qualifies as non-trivial coverage from reputable web-sites, I'll change my !vote to keep. EyeSerene TALK 12:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I actually just bought a cd of their's and....love it. But, sad to say, they are still non notable. Undeath (talk) 23:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Coverage of the band: ,,,,, , , , . Decide for yourselves whether this is enough.--Michig (talk) 12:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I just bought their cd, they are still playing, official site is working, why should it be deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.21.45.30 (talk) 10:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
