Consolation

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

Does this band meet WP:MUSIC? Apart from split releases and EPs, they have had two full-length albums on the indy label Displeased Records. Now is this an "important" indy label? It's somewhat borderline, so I think it warrants a larger discussion. Neither the band article nor the album articles give hints to substantial independent coverage, so at this time I would say they fail WP:N. Article tagged with notability since May 2007. B.

I am nominating the corresponding album articles too:

 * Keep in the context of Dutch Metal, I believe the record label to be a notable one, so I believe they pass WP:MUSIC. However, the individual albums don't, so merge them into the main article.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 14:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak delete I couldn't find multiple non-trivial mention in independent and reliable sources online. That rules out criteria 1 of WP:MUSIC. Members of the band have gone on to form other groups but none of those other groups have an article on wikipedia and presumably are not notable then. So that rules out criteria 6. They have released two albums on Displeased Records, an independent record label whose importance does seem quite borderline as indicated by the nominator. While the label does have a history of more than a few years, their roster of performers does not seem to include "many" other notable artists per criteria 5, hence this weak delete vote. --Bardin (talk) 06:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
