I had added a link to the Sea of Tranquility webzine where the band's album was reviewed by two different reviewers. Also, I had included another link for an interview with the band, but both links were deleted by Binksternet because he thought I was spamming! How can I be spamming when I provide links to a band that actually exists?! What is wrong with including a link to Sea of Tranquility? Just because I am a reviewer there does not negate the fact that this band has been musically active for over a decade. When Binksternet deleted my links, someone else flagged the band to get deleted from Wiki. Please explain how this makes sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Batmura (talk • contribs) 16:05, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Got no idea about what you're asking. Binksternet is an experienced user. I just saw the poorly-sourced stub and here we are. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 16:12, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Got no idea what I'm asking? Binksternet removed valid link I had added to the Linear Sphere link saying I was spamming. Then you came along and flagged the article as "not notable group". I have therefore re-added the links and proven that the band is a legit act and deserves a place on the site. What's not to understand? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Batmura (talk • contribs) 16:16, 16 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. I removed the Sea of Tranquility references because Batmura was spamming them into the encylopedia right and left. I assert that Batmura has a conflict of interest with regard to Sea of Tranquility, being connected to the publication. Because of the conflict, Batmura cannot re-insert Sea of Tranquility references that have been removed as disputed. Without the references, the article has very little to go on. How many of our readers will be inconvenienced if this article is deleted? I can think of only one. Binksternet (talk) 23:45, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I am changing my !vote to Keep subsequent to [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Linear_Sphere&diff=621624109&oldid=621173508 this expansion] by Batmura, showing more third party sources paying attention to the band. Binksternet (talk) 23:23, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

I have also added other links that prove this is a valid entry. Why did you remove them? The band is listed on Metal-Archives.com which I linked to the page. It is wrong to delete it based on valid information. I am not spamming! The band is also listed on AllMusic.com which I have also added to the page. How is providing a legit link to a source spamming? Those interviews provide worthwhile information on the artist. I could easily re-add them using a different name or ask a friend to do it with their own alias. But there's no reason for that. Why do you keep following me and delete everything without giving it some thought first?


 * Delete Fails WP:BAND and WP:GNG. Their music has not been in any nation's national charts, nor has it been nominated for any major awards, nor has any of their works been the subject of works of others. Further more there is a distinct lack of any in depth significant "multiple published secondary sources" about the subject. AlanS (talk) 12:05, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia has thousands of bands listed that have "not been nominated for any major awards." Do you want me to list some of these bands? I had no idea we were only adding bands that got MTV awards. Why don't we take down every other band then? This band is as legit as any other out there. They should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Batmura (talk • contribs) 13:02, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

I have also added links to reviews of their new album. If Binksternet doesn't remove them as he did my links for Sea of Tranquility reviews, you can see the band got reviewed on many different webzines. This is further proof that they should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Batmura (talk • contribs) 13:21, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

AlanS said the entry fails WP:GNG. That's not true. It says ""Sources"[2] should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.[3] Sources do not have to be available online and do not have to be in English." and my entries are from all kinds of different sources, both English and other languages. There are thousands of other entries of bands with NO INFO or LINKS at all that are still part of the site. It would be wrong and unfair. I rest my case. This entry cannot be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Batmura (talk • contribs) 13:35, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
