 * I'd say keep. They've got reviews at Allmusic, Classic Rock and also at powermetal.de and Just for Kicks Music, two commercial German webzines. I.e. non-trivial coverage by multiple notable sources. It passes WP:MUSIC no. 1. De728631 (talk) 19:36, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * This band isn't some London garage band that just plays local bars. They have an album out (Aquarius (Haken album)), which has gotten a lot of good reviews from some good sources, such as Allmusic, Classic Rock Magazine, and more. No, they're not Metallica with millions of fans and they aren't signed to some huge record company, but they do have fans (I'm one of them), they do have a record deal, they do have an album, etc. etc. etc. My opinion, is (obviously) KEEP--Andy (talk) 20:20, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to mention it passes multiple WP:MUSIC criteria (1,4,6 and maybe a few others). The bassist and guitarist in Haken are also guitarists in the band To-Mera. The other guitarist in Haken is also a guitarist in two other smaller bands, of which I'm not sure if they have albums out.--Andy (talk) 20:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep their listing on allmusic.com provides some notability. VirtualRevolution (talk) 10:12, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. The Allmusic coverage is substantial, and at least some coverage from Classic Rock is available online. It's pretty minimal re. notability, but nudges over the bar I think.--Michig (talk) 19:24, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep add this short piece to the coverage . Includes the quote "Their 80-minute concept album was released in spring and received glowing reviews." duffbeerforme (talk) 11:32, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
