This article would questionably stand up to a Speedy Delete A7 (for failing to state why the band is important) and a prod (for notability) was contested. The article only stands up to band notability guidelines for having two albums released on Candlelight records and nothing more. The article does not cite any references despite being tagged as such since March 2008. The content of the article serves primarily to provide information regarding the side projects of non-notable band members. Based on these reasons (primarily the lack of any citations), it is easy to come to the conclusion that this article exists in Wikipedia primarily for vanity. &mdash;  X   S   G   01:24, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I did find this, this, and a few non-English hits that I can't read. They might pass muster but I'll leave it to someone else who is multi lingual. Ten Pound Hammer Farfel  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep with cleanup tags per TenPoundHammer. --Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 01:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, notability established per WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 03:39, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, clearly passes WP:MUSIC, as in fact stated in the nomination! Blackmetalbaz (talk) 07:46, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep. "The article only stands up to band notability guidelines for having two albums released on Candlelight records and nothing more". Good job that's all it needs, then! Crumbs, that was easy.  tomasz.  13:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - It's easy only if Candlelight Records is truly considered a notable label. In this case, it probably is, but my point is that nothing is usually as easy as it appears... &mdash;   X   S   G   23:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment, WP:MUSIC stipulates "one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). I can't see how Candlelight couldn't be considered notable, given its longevity and releases from the likes of Emperor, Opeth, Zyklon, Obituary, 1349, Blut Aus Nord etc. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 07:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Candlelight seems to be a notable label. Between that and the sources I found, I think they meet WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Chirps•Clams•Chowder) 14:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
