 * Keep -- Last.fm shows almost 5,000 listeners, and currently touring with Kamelot.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 15:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete They have two albums out, but no evidence that they're on notable labels. (Last.fm plays are usually immaterial in my book, as that's not a reliable source.) I say only a weak delete because there is still a chance they might meet some criterion of WP:MUSIC, it's just not looking too good right now. (I also added the albums to this discussion.)

 * Keep. Where is the point? The last deletion was a mistake. Forever Slave has a regular record deal since 2005 with Armageddon Music/Wacken Records (same company under new name). This is the label of the Wacken Open Air organizers. Forever Slave has 2 full albums. It is known in Spain, France and Germany, did several tours, played on festivals. So... where is the point?

 * Keep. Agrees totally with Hyscher. Don't see the point in deleting. They're pretty famous, especially in Spain. They're touring with Kamelot all over Europe right now. - Aki (talk) 20:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, I believe they just scrape through on WP:MUSIC and WP:MUSIC. Not to say the article doesn't need a hell of a lot more references though.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:26, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. All the above reasons. Some honors for Alice's Inferno: " + Top 9 - French Underclass (label company) Sales charts; + Top 19 in Sales charts by Heavy Rock; + Top 27 Sales charts in Tipo (Spain)." Also received album of the month in Metal Hammer (Spain). Forever Slave is under Wacken Records which is Armageddon. This label company works with SPV (important label) for music distribution .

 * Comment Could pass Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country. due their tour with Kamelot (replacing Visions of Atlantis if I recall correctly). -- ReyBrujo (talk) 04:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, the article should go to a deletion review, since all the history is lost. If it does not, I will restore the history and do a history merge if indeed consensus is to keep it. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 02:42, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I will perform the history merge myself, once this AFD is closed as keep. (Make sure to nudge me about this, or I'll forget. Thank you) Rudget  ( review ) 16:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
