Mantic Ritual

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This band's first album came out in the last few weeks. I don't see any mention of notable members, chart status, or frankly, anything that qualifies them as meeting WP:BAND. Dori (Talk • Contribs) 21:08, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as passing WP:BAND by way of having a North American tour -- see, , , etc. This is no endorsement of their music. Bearian (talk) 21:56, 24 March 2009 (UTC) (From WP:BAND: A "musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 4. Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.") Bearian (talk) 21:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Having looked at those, my take is that while they have toured as a supporting act, they have not met the "non-trivial coverage" part of the requirement (i.e., something more than "articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories"). Dori (Talk • Contribs) 23:21, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Beside the multiple sources in the article itself, the German Wikipedia page for them sites six non-trivial German music news sources covering the band. Also, judging by the length of the German article and complete lack of "notability discussion" there, it seems to be granted that they've established themselves in more than one "sovereign country". --Meneitherfabio (talk) 23:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
