Funeral (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Fails WP:BAND. As I see it we have only one non-trivial article about this band in a reliable source (AllMusic), whereas the requirement is multiple such articles. Tartarean Desire seems to be the work of an individual although contributions from other fans are accepted. All in all, it seems not to satisfy Wikipedia's criteria as a source for notability. None of the other current references in the article are applicable to attest to notability. meco (talk) 21:20, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. I feel that the band is notable enough for a Wikipedia article due to their connections with labels and their influence on metal music. I acknowledge that the page has sourcing problems, but this can be rectified. I believe that with some improvement of the article, this band can be proven notable and can continue to have a Wikipedia article. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 21:45, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Important enough band with enough coverage to have a meaningful article despite some of the poor sources used in the article. --Michig (talk) 07:34, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes WP:MUSIC with multiple releases on notable labels (Candlelight Records and Indie Recordings, and I'd argue Wild Rags would pass if someone were to create an article). They're mentioned in non-trivial coverage in Terrorizers Secret History of Doom Metal (April 2012, pp.48-49), and in fact are listed in their top 50 doom records of all time (Tragedies, page 73). I'm willing to bet they were in Terrorizers earlier 3-issue doom special as well, but I'd have to dig that out. I'd be very surprised if other sources couldn't be found.
