Portall (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:BAND. Their first album was released on a small label, the second was self-released. The sources that should function to place the band in a musical context seem pretty minor. Geschichte (talk) 21:04, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete Besides the stupid name of the band (I mean, what kind of name is "Portall", seriously? Did they really thought this was a clever name or anything?), I did not found anything about the band. Even with the two L spelling, I did not found anything on Google besides stuff relating to portals and sites where the words appear separately (I searched for their albums "Code Black" and "King of the Mad" - wow, what genius and original titles as well!) The sourcing is also pretty bad imo, one is a website for a metal festival (?) or award (?) which is not even about this band, it's just the homepage, the second is an album review on a site whose reliability looks dubious, and the third is "Aardschok Magazine - Code Black review, p. 54", which looks promising, although since the magazine is not linked in, I don't know whether it's a long album review or just a short one. So I am not satisfied with the sourcing. Also, the article creator only created and edited this article before disappearing.GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 09:42, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. First off, many band names are "stupid", and that does not effect their notability. That said, I did a few Internet searches and found zero news reports. Bearian (talk) 18:02, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I could find a superbrief article in De Stentor on a CD presentation and a passing mention in De Volkskrant where the band is part of analysis. Not sufficient (yet) for WP:GNG. Aardschok Magazine defines this as a "local band". These are legitimate sources for data in the article, I'm missing something for Notability.  gidonb (talk) 17:55, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
