Ghost of a fallen age

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

No assertion of notability based on WP:BAND; prod was removed. This is band formed within the last year that doesn't currently have any albums released (with one in the pipeline). Also, one of the criteria based on past members does not apply, since Winter Solstice also appears as non-notable.-- moe.RON   Let's talk  21:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

You guys can say that all you want but there are 1000's of bands on here that aren't as notable as Ghost Of A Fallen Age. Yes the album may be in the "pipeline" but on Smartpunk @ this link: you can see that out of all the albums they sell Ghost Of A Fallen Age is ranked #10 because of how many people have bought the album on Pre-Order. They are ranked above bands that have been on here for a while and are considered "more notable" just because this band is newer and you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they aren't notable. The band is nominated for this year's Taste Of Chaos Tour, the band's manager and label are working out details for that right now, because Alesana who are Ghost Of A Fallen Age's label mates have just signed with Fearless Records and the owner of that label runs Warped Tour & Taste Of Chaos. Once again the album will be sold in Bestbuy, Target, Virgin Records, Tower Records, Hot Topic, Amazon, Etc... On Feb 6th when the album is released. Again, some of the bands already on here aren't even sold in a market that large. I think you should do a little more research on a band before you go off and assume they aren't notable.

I agree with everything Norgret1 has said, I think this band has just as much information as any other band on WIkipedia. Also I checked out the smartpunk page and Ghost Of A Fallen Age is on the front page of that site also; featured with notable bands such as: Anberlin, classic case Also, Ghost Of A Fallen Age is ranked #10 out of all signed artists. They are right behind Fall Out Boy which I'm sure you've heard of.

The band was followed on tour by The Lynchburg News & Advance and had a front page article written about it. Their new album was also mentioned in Alternative Press Magazine.
