Darkmoon Ritual

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completed two demos. No indication that this group meets criteria in WP:BAND. Taroaldo   ✉   18:05, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

As well, "If an article fails to cite sufficient sources to demonstrate the notability of its subject, look for sources yourself, or: Thanks. NHCLS (talk) 18:36, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The Notability (music) page says "Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept." In this case, yes, the group may not be that notable, however, Wikipedia appears not to have any other coverage of this group, and, it is my belief that a person should be able to research anything & everything on Wikipedia, including this group. Also, please note that "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below."
 * 1) Ask the article's creator or an expert on the subject for advice on where to look for sources.
 * 2) Place a notability tag on the article to alert other editors. If the article is about a specialized field, use the expert-subject tag with a specific WikiProject to attract editors knowledgeable about that field, who may have access to reliable sources not available online." This would be a better way to proceed than deletion.
 * Comment Perhaps you should review WP:RS, WP:V, and even WP:YFA for starters. You are also wrong to imply that other editors have not attempted to establish notability prior to engaging in the deletion discussion.  Taroaldo    ✉   19:55, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I have noticed that other editors have tried to establish notability. My general point was just that I believe that deletion should be used as a last resort, if necessary, and I fail to see how this articles does not contribute to widening Wikipedia's coverage of culture. I know that it is said that "Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in existence" but i disagree. Thanks.NHCLS (talk) 15:06, 30 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete: The article fails to establish this group's notability, and a quick Google search revealed no reliable sources indicating this band's notability. The only sources used are Metal Archives (not a reliable source) and a lyrics site (which I also doubt is a reliable source). Not even Allmusic has an article on them.

 * Delete Google search doesn't really net any results other than lyrics. As much as I hate to say it... I don't think this band is notable.  D u s t i *poke* 20:09, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
