The previous deletion discussion found that this group satisfied WP:BAND since they had released two albums on Cleopatra Records. However, it looks like they actually were included on two Cleopatra compilations. That's not enough for WP:BAND. I've also been unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources per WP:GNG.

 * Clarification: the "compilations" are actually "best-of" albums. I still think this is pretty borderline for WP:BAND. Much as I love some of Cleopatra's acts, the intention of WP:BAND is to establish presumptive notability. Cleopatra is not "one of the more important indie labels", and Corpus Delicti's connection to the label is weak. The true test of notability is coverage in independent sources, and publication of these best-of albums by Cleopatra Records has apparently not resulted in any coverage for this band.

 * Keep. Two of their albums was on Cleopatra (Saraband and The Best of Corpus Delicti), and there's coverage from Trouser Press and Exotic Encounters, as well as Mick Mercer's Hex Files: The Goth Bible. --Michig (talk) 19:20, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
