Mattador

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Band does not appear to be notable per WP:Music. I took a quick look to see if the band's only album even charted on any of the Billboard charts in which the band's name isn't even found. Additionally, there's no sources for this statement: "The band enjoyed critical success in USA and Japan, but was a commercial failure." Not only that, but it seems like a contradiction to what is being stated. No awards either for the band have been found. Magiciandude (talk) 02:43, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - There is no contradiction in being a critical success and a commercial failure. they may have received great reviews from the critics only to have their album sell only a few copies and nobody attend their concerts.  However, I can find no reliable sources to substantiate this critical success. -- Whpq (talk) 17:59, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
