Flame (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The article has been tagged for notability issues since 2013 and seen no improvement. My WP:BEFORE has shown several user generated sources, none of which pass as IRS. Fails both WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Less Unless (talk) 17:50, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: Oricon shows their releases have charted (though unfortunately they no longer publicly show charting releases prior to 2005 and I don't have a paid subscription). They do pass WP:GNG and have several articles written about them, but only in Japanese. lullabying (talk) 20:45, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment if any sources of Notability can be provided here on the article, I will change my VOTE ; we all understand that Wikipedia need sreliable sources of any charts or news for open verification, NOT just a words saying ....  WE need proof of it, BUT if not, then the criteria 2 of WP:NMUSIC is Not meet ...  still No evidence of Notability Samat lib (talk) 10:10, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
