The result was Keep. Notability of the band has been made apparent by the searching and work of User:Bardin. However, those citations are currently not in the article. Need to be in the article. Very little discussion here revolved around the albums (which would presumably be non-notable if the band was non-notable). Since the band has been deemed "notable" in its genre, the album articles, for now, will have the afg tag removed. No prejudice against a renomination or merge proposal of the album articles to determine if the albums themselves have stand alone notability or if they would be better suited as topics in the parent article to expand that article.

 * Note: The article claims that they've won several awards from big publications, although none are sourced. I'll reserve judgment, as they may well be artificial, but if they're real, I'd contend that they are notable enough to stay. Fogster (talk) 01:34, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I added their albums to this discussion. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The claim that they won an award for best black metal band is backed up by this, but otherwise I'm turning up absolutely nothing in the way of reliable sources; therefore, I think they fail WP:MUSIC.

 * Keep For an indie metal band, they have gotten quite a lot of coverage with interviews here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. They have also been reviewed here, here, here, here, here, etc. All of which indicates that they easily pass criteria 1 of WP:MUSIC. The bio at rockdetector describes them as a "highly rated symphonic bm band with a recording deal through "the Russian arm of the Century Media label" and a debut album that "sold well domestically," though I presume that is only by Russian heavy metal standards. --Bardin (talk) 00:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per information given by Bardin. Notability has been established. Undeath (talk) 19:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
