Paganus

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

I believe that the article breaks WP:MUSIC. The band doesn't seem to have had a notable amount of success, nor does it seem to have been the subject of non-trivial coverage by multiple reliable sources. In order to avoid a misunderstanding, I am not refering to a Finish band called Paganus, which is a musical group that does seem to be notable. The article I have nominated for deletion covers a Swedish band. JEdgarFreeman (talk) 22:21, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment They have a website which leads onto a myspace page which claims numerous independent "reviews" of their self published albums (Earth Records is apparently their own label). Annette46 (talk) 02:23, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment A source cannot be used to establish notability if it isn't, according to WP:MUSIC, "independent from the musician/ensemble itself".  Their own website, and their own MySpace page, are not independent.  Plus, unless these reviews can be verified as independent and reliable, they cannot establish notability either.  In my opinion, if the reviews are shown to be independent and reliable, I believe that the band has still not attained a sufficient amount of notability.  It would appear they have only ever released one full-length album, and that was published by their own record label, and that album does not seem to have done well in any major charts.
