 * Delete nn. all of the articles it links to may also be worthy of deletion for similar reasons 169.231.23.121 22:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, and also delete every band linked to on Esotype, and also delete Wall With One Side and Miracle Vs. Man Aside from AfD pages, the five bands that come up when you hit "What links here" on the Esotype article are the only five articles that link there. If you look at the bands linked to on the Esotype page, it's quite obvious that all of the articles were written by the same person (and, of course, looking at the edit summaries confirms that, in fact, User:Mercurious has never made an edit that was unrelated to Esotype). All of the pages are advertisements for Esotype, as each of the bands' articles basically talks about how incredible the label is and how the all formed because they were big Esotype fans. Of the five bands, only Ethan Durrelle doesn't completely and utterly fail the Google test ("Tambersauro", "Wall With One Side", and "Meryll"+"Esotype" each with less than 300 total and less than 60 unique hits). The same parameters hold for "Esotype"+"Houston". "Miracle Vs. Man" gets only 19 total and 11 unique hits. While "Ethan Durelle" isn't quite as poor, with 11,700 total and 190 unique hits, it isn't particularly popular, either. None of the articles assert even the slightest amount of notability. The articles basically just say, "This band exists, it's on the label Esotype, and... the band exists." Ethan Durelle is the only article linked to by any non-Esotype article on WP, and its only other link is List of Christian rock artists, which really doesn't count. So let's add this all up... advertisement, failure of Google test, no intrawiki links, absolutely no asserted importance... yeah, that's a delete. -- Kicking222 22:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
