Tephra (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not an obviously notable band, a search for sources brings back nothing much more than this self-published entry in metal-archives.com. The only reason I challenged a WP:CSD is because the article exists on the German Wikipedia, but again the sources there seem to be self-published fanzines or otherwise not particularly significant material.

 * Delete. Being the original CSD nominator I'll accept that constructive criticism while still maintaining (and agreeing) that the article should be deleted based on lack of notability. -- Non-Dropframe   talk   17:13, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm the article creator. If the band is, in fact, not notable, then there's no reason the article can't be deleted (for the sake of full transparency, I'd never heard of the band until about 5 minutes before creating the article, though I'm certainly not up to speed on German metal bands). Without some knowledge of the German language and perhaps of German-language musical publications, it's very hard to say whether the sources in the German article should be considered reliable or not. Can we get someone who's qualified to make that assessment to comment? I'm happy to abide by whatever they decide. Arathald (talk) 03:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now as I simply found nothing at all to suggest better improvement. SwisterTwister   talk  06:42, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - searches turned up nothing to show they meet either WP:GNG or WP:BAND.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:22, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
