Mistreat (band)

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

Totally fails WP:MUSIC; no coverage in independent, third-party reliable sources... all that can be found are the likes of Myspace, Last.fm, forums, and entertainingly, Stormfront. No releases even on notable indie labels, no significant tours, not even a website. There is a claim to notability ("the best known RAC band in Finland") hence me bringing it here rather than slapping a speedy on it, but without a source, this is just spam.

 * Undecided. They appear to have recorded a lot of albums, and there are claims for notability in the article, albeit unsourced. I would suggest to the creator to bring on reliable and relevant sources to prove this band's notability. I searched a bit, but my total ignorance of the Finnish language is indeed an obstacle in this case. If sources can't be presented, I will change my vote to Delete.

 * Delete, article fails to establish notability per WP:MUSICBIO. For a band with so many albums, there is bugger all out there on them. No significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:36, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Mega Delete for being "the best known RAC band in Finland", I can't find a single WP:RS on the band. Maybe it should be "the best known only RAC band in Finland"? (Note: I have since removed that statement from the article, as it isn't neutral). The Weak Willed 00:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
