Lake of Tears

No independent sources at all for a band article that reads like bandspam. Seriously, it doesn't even try to be encyclopedic. It's WP:VSCA and fails WP:RS. Almost qualifies under CSD:G11. Also, unfortunately, because it's written as hype, it makes all sorts of assertions of notability that are not backed up whatsoever. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep They are listed at |OF|TEARS&sql=11:gifixqwhldke~T0 Allmusic. Also they have an interview in an English language online metal magazine, and it looks like some non-English Google news hits. (If the band is being considered for nomination, may I recommend also listing their related albums as well, as linked in their discography). The article needs serious cleanup however, not just for content but overuse of the 'fact' template. Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 17:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Just needs better sourcing. Sometimes notable foreign bands can be easily mistaken as non-notable, due to the fact it can be hard finding google hits, etc. This seems like one of those times. -WarthogDemon 21:39, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment And I forgot to mention that yes, this DOES need serious cleanup as User:Eliz81 states. -WarthogDemon 21:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep but tag with cleanup-rewrite. Stifle (talk) 21:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I did my best to edit the article, considering all your suggestions. If I missed something or there still anything else to be done, please say it. Costinbanu 15:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It definitely needs rewriting for a more objective tone, but the claims of it not being notable enough are out of the question. The band is well known in Europe. GreenSprite 11:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
