Schwein
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Relisting as previous nomination did not attract any comment and soft deletion was not applicable. Non-notable band that only lasted one year; no sources found in English or German. Sources in Japanese linked on the page do not show WP:SIGCOV. Broc (talk) 14:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Japan, Germany,  and United Kingdom. Broc (talk) 14:41, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I believe the article should stay up. Per v, point 6, the group consists of several independently notable musicians. Weiqwbo (talk) 14:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep per comment above, but also if only because having this content in each of the individual artist pages would be redundant (which is probably the point of Notability (music) #6) &#45;- t_kiehne (talk) 18:14, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Question. Were they big in Japan? Bearian (talk) 20:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep – KMFDM's parallel project, I believe it has enough notability. Svartner (talk) 09:04, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete: While it is composed of notable bands, I am unable to find any significant coverage of this band or the albums. Almost all of the mentions I can find of it are just in interviews with Raymond Watts. StreetcarEnjoyer (talk)  20:18, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: The entire article is an inference that notability is inherited (by participation in other bands). Nothing applied, presented, or found which meets direct detailing in reliable sources independent of the subject. BusterD (talk) 14:29, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notability matters, we don't want to bloat the individual artists' pages.
 * The band operated mainly in Japan, or at least only performed live there so the problem with finding sources is that they would be in Japanese magazines of that time (more than twenty years ago). Which are one) hard to find nowadays, two) expensive to acquire when found, and, I suppose, three) wikipedia would knock them as sources since most of them would be featuring interviews with the band members and wikipedia considers this self-promotion (in my opinion that's not entirely relevant, if the publication is in a reputable magazine, it should count, since a reputable magazine wouldn't print about randos even if the randos paid. But what am I doing using logic here.)
 * Some scans of magazines can be found here:

 * Scans are probably the closest we can get to the magazines but we have to acknowledge that fans are more likely to want to preserve the musicians' own words over those of random reporters. Weiqwbo (talk) 20:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
