Iron Man (band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable metal band with no viable third-party sources, with any recent coverage resulting from the death of founder Alfred Morris on 1/10. For having being signed at one point to a supposedly notable label (Hellhound), their albums disappeared commercially and have no separate articles. A search on Billboard turned up no chart history, while AllMusic content is clearly user-submitted. Article itself is badly cited (three of its five links are dead) while consisting mainly of unsourced puffery, and has remained in that state for the past decade despite a "keep" vote back in 2008. sixty nine  • whaddya want? •  03:01, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Entry in The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal, Allmusic bio and 4 reviews (clearly not user-submitted), Decibel, Blabbermouth review, City Paper - enough to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. --Michig (talk) 10:31, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per sources by Michig and the fact that this nomination is deeply flawed. Dead link is not bad citation, when it was added it was working and is retrievable via archive mechanisms. Article bad shape is also not reason for deletion. Apart from that they clearly pass WP:MUSIC which requires releasing album on major record label. –Ammarpad (talk) 09:01, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
