The new sources that were added after the previous soft delete and restore are either WP:ROUTINE or no reliable sources themselves. Not even sure what the "book" states about the publication. We need significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I cannot substantially find secondary, reliable sources that discuss it online. The article still fails WP:GNG.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep The reference in Extreme Metal: Music and Culture is brief but does imply some notable significance as a pioneer in a specific (niche) field. Amusingly it does so in the context of talking about how the niche nature of metal makes it difficult to get attention to dedicated media sources. (You know, like having Wikipedia pages.) Admittedly there's a lot of source padding here and the article is very borderline. But I think this is a harmless one where we can err on the side of inclusionism.

 * It would be better to have significant coverage. That is what WP:GNG states. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Just for the record folks: This article was first nominated for deletion in 2005, with that result was Delete by two editors who agreed to its deletion. In 2019, somebody recreated the article in an apparent of WP:REFUND case. How many nominations do we need to claim an article notability or otherwise?--Biografer (talk) 22:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Once it's determined that it's notable, that cannot be revoked. If the article keeps getting recreated and the subject is repeatedly determined to not be be notable, we can WP:SALT it to avoid recreation. Otherwise, we could be at the delete recreate process for a long while. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete fails WP:SIGCOV. I would be happy to reconsider if someone brings sourcing that meets WP:SIGCOV, but my searches are not finding it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
