Voice of a Tortured Skull

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article fails WP:V. Although it is listed as a demo in many print sources, there is no evidence to suggest that it ever existed. The band's official website does not list it, although it is otherwise extremely comprehesive with regard to demos, compilations and other appearances.

 * Comment Can anyone do a search of non-English sites? -- Shark face  217  03:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I have continued to look but still am unable to find a reliable source to prove that this demo ever existed. If the band do not acknowledge that it ever existed, despite listing all of their other demo recordings and the like on their official website, surely this is an open and shut case?

 * Comment Google finds some instances of it on music download sites, at least attributing it to Mayhem from 1985 or 86. This doesn't assert notability, of course. JeremyMcCracken (talk) 05:01, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Google searches do not in and of themselves establish WP:V. But the above poster is also correct that notability has not been established either. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 13:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment The issue at stake here is not the quality of the article but whether the article itself ever actually existed. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 02:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
