notability? even band website is dead Eqbj-mqas (talk) 20:12, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The band website being dead is not in itself evidence that the band is not notable. If the band was notable once, then it is notable always. I do not recognize the record labels listed at http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:0ifwxqtkldfe~T2  as having released the band's recordings. If at least two albums were released on major labels or notable independent ones, then the band passes notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs)  20:58, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Th band has multiple releases on the notable Holy Records. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 21:55, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The band released SIX albums on notable labels including Holy Records. They are curently signed on Sleaszy Rider Records. Plus they are mentionned as a notable gothic metal band in a published book: the Stephan Legay's book Carnets Noirs in the "metal gothique" chapter" describing major and important acts of the scene including Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Theatre of Tragedy. (Stéphane Leguay, "Métal Gothique" in Carnets Noirs, éditions E-dite, 3e édition, 2003-2006, ISBN 2-84608-176-X p.225).  The french "Hard Rock magazine" (september 2000 issue# 60 on p.3) includes a presentation of this band. (Oh, in case someone doubted what I'm saying I sure can provide scans without any problems). And of course sites like Allmusic and Gary Sharpe Young's Musicmight list this band and their biography on their website. Fred D.Hunter (talk) 10:15, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete The label itself is notable. The label gives notability to bands only if it has a roster of performers, many of which are notable. Not counting notability through this label, not many of their bands are notable. Pvfi (talk) 01:03, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eastmain.  Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 17:57, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
