-It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable: Metal-archives.com Metaluniverse.net Metrolyrics.com Mastersland.com and others. -Has released two or more albums on a major label: Twilight Legend Curse Of The Angeleye both on CD-Maximum, Russian major label. -Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable: Andrey Ischenko played in Catharsis. -Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city: It is a first and a most commonly mentioned band, playing Russian power metal.Ironguardian (talk) 18:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC) Imago_(Catharsis_album) Imago_(Имаго) Prizrachnyj Svet Krylya (album) Verni_Im_Nebo Ironguardian (talk) 08:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment - If you make an AfD for a band you may want to add their albums to the nomination.--Tikiwont (talk) 12:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Usually i just prod them as unnecessary-album-by-deleted-artist if the AfD !votes to delete. Same result either way really.  tomasz.  13:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. None of those four websites are "multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable". Two are metal fansites, one is a lyrics site, the last one appears to be some sort of blog with just a track listing. No mention of Ischenko at Catharsis's page at all.

 * Keep meets WP:MUSIC in more than one area (see my previous comment above). It's the first power metal band in Russia ever. Over the years it became the most mentioned one. It's kinda classical now.Ironguardian (talk) 12:48, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Note that you can only "keep" once.  tomasz.  19:25, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Ok. Ironguardian (talk) 08:22, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep as per Ironguardian's reasoning. Sounds notable to me.  --John (talk) 02:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
