Mirabilis (band)
WP:BAND John Nagle 05:21, 7 October 2006 (UTC) Non-notable "almost famous" band. Only one CD in Gracenote; the limited edition self-titled 7" EP demo doesn't count. Wikipedia requires two CDs or other major notability. Amazon.com Sales Rank: #211,105 in Music.  --John Nagle 05:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per WP:BAND:
 * Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.

Summer Bowman and Dru Allen, based on their contributions to This Ascension and The Machine in the Garden easily meet this. Since it is a joint side project, a redirect is unsuitable. The article should stay. --Eyrian 05:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eyrian, a joint side project of two reasonably well known musicians. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:30, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 19:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eyrian. It seems to me that it meets the notability qualification per WP:BAND. - Lex 03:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I have no opinion re: this article, but keeping it because two notable musicians confer notability is fallacious. One could still pick an article in which to house the information, such as is done with articles like Suri Holmes Cruise - a collaboration between two notable individuals if ever there was one.

 * Keep This is a project by two major figures within the US Ethereal Darkwave scene and is notable for that reason. Donnacha 11:09, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Time for a WP:SNOW speedy keep? PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 17:41, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment We may have a copyvio problem. The article is mostly copied from Encyclopedia Gothica. That's not a GFDL-licensed site. It says "Contributed by Summer Bowman" at the bottom, so it's self-promotion. This is probably a problem that can be fixed with more editing; the article has already started to diverge from the copied text.  --John Nagle 18:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * No copyvio, the text was contributed here by User:Tmitg - either Summer, Roger or both from The Machine in the Garden. Self-promotion is a different issue, but it doesn't look like it needs that much editing really. Donnacha 09:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
