Non-notable band. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Finnish one-man National Socialist Black Metal project. I don't think it is notable to be included in Wikipedia. The article has an "improve sources" tag since 2015, and a notability tag since 2019. I have noticed that Goatmoon has a following in underground circles, but it is not covered in notable media. I have found a Brooklyn Vegan and an AltPress article, both are reliable sources, but these articles are not about the project itself, just news about a guy being kicked out of Maryland Deathfest because he wears a vest with a Goatmoon patch on it. The "band" (project) is covered very trivially in these articles. The rest of the results are the standard unreliable sources like databases, streaming service entries, retail sites and blogs. I have found some album reviews/interviews but they are featured on blog-like sites. Goatmoon has no profile on Metal Storm and on Sputnik Music, the whole coverage is this: "Goatmoon is a one-man black metal band." That's it. These two could've been reliable but none of these sites covered this band. I have also searched for the albums but I could not find anything reliable, just databases, retail sites, streaming service links, song lyrics sites, video sites and blogs. I have found a review for one of Goatmoon's albums on Sputnik Music (which is considered to be a RS if staff written content is used), unfortunately the review was written by a user. Goatmoon has articles on several other Wikis as well, but the sourcing is very poor in all of them, as they are sourced to unreliable sites like Discogs and Metal Archives. Some of the sources are also dead. There might be reliable sources in Finnish but I don't speak the language. So with all that being said, this project may be notable in the underground, but not notable for Wikipedia. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 10:48, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
