Jasper Wrath

Non-notable band with no sources apart from member created or submitted content, let alone reliable. Xenocide Talk undefined Contributions  01:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I started this article for Jasper Wrath because it was one of the first bands for James Christian and Jeff Cannata. Christian later went on to be the frontman for the notable '80s band House of Lords. Cannata later went on to start the '80s band Arc Angel. I think it is important to showcase the history of musicians and their earlier bands. Jasper Wrath, in their own right, was a very popular band in Connecticut and the rest of New England throughout the '70s. They even released an album through MGM Records, a major record label. 2112guy Talk undefined Contributions  21:55, 6 May 2009 (EST)


 * Comment. Setting aside the issue of notability or importance, do reliable third-party references exist to write an article on this topic?  Otherwise you run into problems with WP:VERIFY and WP:OR. I will withhold my opinion until this question is answered. Drawn Some (talk) 02:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, there are reliable third-party references. The article has been updated and references have been added. 2112guy Talk undefined Contributions  22:32, 6 May 2009 (EST)
 * Sorry, I am only seeing personal websites from people in the band. Drawn Some (talk) 03:08, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd say it's barely a weak keeper. One album was released on MGM, but anything else is on labels that don't seem to have articles.  I'm leaving it on the article's creator and assuming good faith that more can be found.  I'd say revisit later if we can't get anything else. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 02:51, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep Band with album on important label and who had two members go on to be major parts of two other notable bands. Duffbeerforme (talk) 05:56, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
