Failed prod, doesn't appear to meet notability standards at WP:BAND. I also added a band member's article to the nomination. Nufy8 14:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Added an album article to the nomination. Nufy8 20:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Julian Cope writing about you in The Guardian should count for something, I think. Article does need work and references. Is it fair to hold bands from places like Iran to the same exact standards as those from the US + UK? (That last bit isn't part of my argument, I'm just thinking out loud, I guess).

 * Weak keep the band itself, seems to have some notablity (if not actual success) as noted above. Delete the article on the band member as he has no notability for anything other than the band. A1octopus 20:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't quite reach WP:MUSIC. The album called Exir was published by Roadrunner Records, which is apparently now owned by the Warner Music Group, so it must count as a major label. If they had two such major-label records they would be notable by WP:MUSIC. There is nothing in this article about touring or awards, which are also used as criteria.

 * Comment. I'd just like to point out that there is no evidence that the band was signed to Roadrunner Records at any point; this info was apparently removed from the article after a discussion on the talk page. The album's article still makes the Roadrunner claim, which is where I assume you got that from. Nufy8 20:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like you're correct. The only stuff I could find connecting them with Roadrunner all seems to be taken from the Wikipedia article. I did find a posting on a site (blabbermouth.net) that's hosted on the Roadrunner site, about the band (as "Koht Mian"), but nothing about them signing with Roadrunner (link) (or any of the band moving to the USA, etc.) Closenplay 20:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
