Maldoror (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable band. Unreferenced for over 11 years. Pmepepnoute (talk) 08:20, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Stub article about a one-off collaboration between two musicians with their own well established articles. The article has basically been a stub noting the existence of the project since it's creation in 2005 and has had an Unreference template attached to it since December 2009. I could no reliable sources for the group except for a couple reviews of their sole album. Pmepepnoute (talk) 08:21, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. This is another of those (rare) cases when the band has notable members, released albums on a notable label, yet they doesn't deserve their own article because despite all of this, they haven't achieved reliable media coverage. That is because there are cases when some bands go unnoticed, despite the notable members. Both Merzbow and Patton are notable of course, and Ipecac is a notable label, yet the only reliable source I could find was an Allmusic review. The rest are the usual junk (you know, youtube, download and retail sites, this kind of stuff). I also checked the Spanish and the Swedish article to see if they've got any better sources, but nope. The Spanish article contains a database-like site, and the Swedish article doesn't contain any sources whatsoever. This can be redirected to either of the members' articles, and that's it.

 * Delete then list in the histories of side projects at the Mike Patton and Merzbow articles. Note that they have an album article at She (Maldoror album), which will probably also have to be deleted or redirected. This one is tough because the album got at least one reliable review, though it is not very robust. As a duo they were largely unnoticed. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:45, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
