 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was move to Jonathan Sharp (musician); all of the nominated albums will be redirected there. This AfD has been sitting for an unusually long time and is now mostly moot. The move was suggested by one of the voters and endorsed by others; the move to Sharp's article was already done a week ago with further improvements being made there already. Further discussion has become unnecessary.. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 04:13, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

New Mind (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Another one of now-indeffed User:Soul Crusher's creations. Created by IP in 2005, but Soul Crusher created all of the album pages. Sources are an interview and some unreliable sources, and I can't find anything better. doesn't seem to meet WP:NBAND or WP:GNG. Also bundling in the pages for the band's albums, as those will go if the band article does.

 * Delete Non-notable band. At first I also thought this is just another of Soul Crusher's non-notable bands, but yeah, this is much older. Still not notable, no reliable sources are presented and I couldn't find one. The band had an article on plwiki as well, but there are no sources whatsoever. Non-notable band, and the albums can go as well (not just because they are created by SC, but because of them being non-notable). GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 14:32, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Do Not Delete I have a note on the talk page about converting this to be an article on Jonathan Sharp, which will cover both these projects (New Mind & Biotek) plus allow expansion on his other activities. Additionally, disagree about notability on the basis of #5 in the notability guidelines ("Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).") - his works have been released on both Zoth Ommog and Off Beat which are significant indie labels for electronic/industrial music. I frankly don't care about the album pages but I do think that Jonathan and his works and collaborations are worth noting. But, yes, it can use more sources - I added what I could find readily (Sonic Boom was an important pre-blog Web resource and Culture Shock was one of many print scene magazines from the 90s), but in general it is a difficult proposition to find sources for underground acts from pre-modern Web times; in that sense it is still a work in progress. -- t_kiehne (talk) 01:44, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete all - the band fails WP:NBAND, and the albums fail WP:NALBUM, and they all fail WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:56, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Move the New Mind article to Jonathan Sharp (musician), which will require a "round robin move" due to clashing redirects, then Redirect all of the nominated albums to Sharp's article. In the vote above and also at Talk:New Mind (band), Tkiehne has argued that Sharp may have enough notability to qualify for his own article, which I find fairly persuasive. That article can include Sharp's various projects and albums under multiple names. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:38, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Move and rewrite as above as Sharp's entire music history may well be notable, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Procedural Comment - The move has already been done, due to outcome of the discussion at Talk:New Mind (band). That probably should not have happened before this AfD was done, but the article under discussion is now called Jonathan Sharp (musician). That article may be viable if Tkiehne and others clean it up with a focus on Sharp's larger career. The albums listed in this AfD can be redirected to there. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
