 * Delete Ok, lets take a look at the WP:BAND criteria:
 * Keep The band Hypnos was formed by former members of notable Czech metal bands: Krabathor and Root. Their official website lists independent reviews in Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Greek and English language. Their music was reviewed by a well known Czech metal magazine Whiplash (the author is the guru of the Czech metal scene, Big Boss). The magazine Muzikus (a reliable mainstream music magazine published in the Czech Rep.) claims that their last album was produced by Harris Johns and mastered in Morrisound Studio in the US. I found independent and non-trivial Czech reviews published by AbbysZine, Muzikus,, FobiaZine etc etc. I think that Hypnos is a notable metal band. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:25, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Can't give them credit on the own .com site for reliables, runs into WP:COI and other issues. Can't give them credit for the YouTube or Facebook material as they are not considered reliable. However, since I am not Czech, nor am I able to attest to the significance of publications thereof, I will defer further eval of the news blips to folks more able to state their notability.

 * Keep Per the sources found by Vejvančický, foreign language sources are permissible. J04n(talk page) 23:55, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not cite any sources. Delete now, edit later per WP:NRSNVNA DavidTTTaylor (talk) 13:53, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm on the fence about this one since I'm not sure how reliable the sources are. I did find it interesting that the company Vodaphone wrote about them in the Czech edition of their magazine. Unfortunately, I don't speak Czech. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 23:06, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
