Prod declined in May 2009 by ThaddeusB with edit summary "albums have been reviewed by multiple reliable sources - will address sourcing concerns ASAP". He never got around to it and, with his recent lack of edits, probably never will. A7 also declined due to article's age. I have been unable to find any of the sources that ThaddeusB suggests may exist even when searching with multiple keywords.

 * Delete. Fiddling with Google news search parameters I was unable to find anything other than the occasional reviewette of this groups albums, and even those are thin on the ground and not exactly mainstream music reporting. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:45, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll change this to keep. Seems to be much improved now, thanks to Yngvadottir. Angus McLellan (Talk) 20:35, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Given the genre, they have had a lot of "press". I tweaked the English of the article and added some references and a few more external links, which maybe should be "Sources" but that seems awfully scholarly for a heavy metal band. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per AWP:Energy conservation. Playmobilonhishorse (talk) 06:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Overall does not meet industry notability per WP:BAND]. However, there appears to be significant coverage through reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I support keeping the article. Cindamuse (talk) 15:09, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
