Dæmonarch

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:01, 23 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Portuguese black metal band which was formed by the members of Moonspell. While Moonspell is obviously notable, I think Dæmonarch is not. The article has a no sources tag on it since March 2008. I did a google search and the results were the following: the usual, unreliable sites like Discogs, Metal Archives, Spirit of Metal, Last.fm, BNR Metal Pages, Dark Lyrics, semi-reliable sites like Sputnik Music and Metal Storm, and unreliable stuff (again) like name checks, trivial mentions and blog/download sites. I also found an Allmusic biography which is a reliable source and a review of their only album on Metal.de, I am not sure about that site any more since I was told there is nothing reliable about it. I always thought it was reliable, it looks like a notable, reliable site but I am sidetracked now. So if Metal.de is notable, then with the Allmusic biography we have 2 reliable sources and I gladly withdraw my nomination. But since I am not sure about Metal.de anymore and one reliable source is not enough, therefore I sentence it to an AfD. It has an article on four Wikipedias as well but the sourcing is crappy on all of them, except the French one which cites some album reviews and the Allmusic biography. The best solution would be a redirect to Moonspell but I don't think this is notable for its own page. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 09:59, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Merge to Moonspell then redirect. Metalstorm and SputnikMusic are both reliable sources as is AllMusic but there is hardly any content to the present article so unless someone expands it (if so please ping me) it could be merged to Moonspell with the addition of the aforementioned references, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:34, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Moonspell is a good answer. --Lockley (talk) 22:35, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - The reason I said that Sputnik Music and Metal Storm are "semi-reliable" is because I think both of these sites are reliable only when the staff reviews an album of a band/interviews a band. Both of these sites contain user-generated comments/reviews as well which makes these sites unreliable. That's what I have heard (and I know these sites). But feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

 * Redirect to Moonspell, merge isn't needed because this page isn't cited and the info is already there.  Username 6892 04:01, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
