'Delete Does not meet notability requirements as set out in WP:MUSIC. Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 01:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily meets the guideline with five albums released through notable labels, and plenty of sources available. Prolog (talk) 02:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * neg neither woodcut or wounded love are notable indy labels, def does not meet WP:MUSIC -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 02:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Wounded Love = Avantgarde Music. Anyway, the four links above are enough. Prolog (talk) 02:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Wounded Love is a label in its own right which is owned by Avantgarde. You can't say that something released on Wounded Love has been released on Avantgarde. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 02:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I doubt if trivial links like that (that aren't even in English!) would suffice. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 02:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you consider interviews as "trivial", I wonder what coverage is non-trivial enough for you. And yes, non-English sources are allowed and often used in the English Wikipedia. Prolog (talk) 02:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * What? Q: What do you think of the current black metal scene? A: Blah, blah, blah, we are great, everything else is unoriginal, worship us! = notable ??? -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ  Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 03:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not believe that question/answer combination is from any of those sources I presented, so maybe you should stick to the English language sources such as these. Prolog (talk) 03:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it's just me, but I don't think that press releases issued by their American distributor undeniably prove their notability, most entirely trivial which only mention the band. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 03:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It is hard to say what proves a band "undeniably notable", but it is not hard to say that this band meets criteria 1, 5 (Wounded Love Records, Cleopatra Records, two re-issues by Avantgarde Music) and 6 (Rotten Sound, ...and Oceans) of your preferred guideline for notability; WP:MUSIC. Prolog (talk) 04:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, they do not meet 1. read the list of exclusions, nor 5, reprints don't count. If you're therefore hinging your vote on 6, perhaps we could just create a redirect to Oceans or Rotten sound per WP:MUSIC. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 04:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The interviews I listed already meet criterion 1. If you want to list your own rules like "reprints don't count" and "sub-labels of notable labels are not notable", maybe you should create User:Librarianofages/Notability. I'm fairly certain you won't find many editors agreeing with these positions. Prolog (talk) 05:10, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, i'm not taking liberty to do any such thing.. It states "releases", a reprint is not a release. and please read carefully, it says that articles "where the band talk about themselves" are not valid. Perhaps it should be you who creates User:Prolog/Liberalsinterpretationsonatheme. -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ  Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 05:14, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Our article disagrees with you; "...an album which has been released at least once before and is released again...". A re-release is therefore a release. Magazine articles about bands are almost always made in interview form. The "band talking about themselves" part is not meant to rule out interview-based sources. Guidelines are advisory and should be treated with common sense, so whenever you have to "read carefully", you are in fact reading too carefully. Prolog (talk) 06:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Or one might not be reading carefully enough ;) -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 12:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep per Prolog. There isn't much to add, but I think the sources linked above are indications of some notability. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 14:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Prolog's sources are sufficient to establish the band's notability. Chubbles (talk) 15:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * How? -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 05:31, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
