Certainly time for another AfD as my searches found nothing better than some passing mentions and even the listed sources are simply passing mentions themselves. The first AfD comments mentioned the label being notable but from what I've understood, it seems more like an obscure independent label which I've now PRODed as well after finding no better improvement. Notifying the only still active commenter. SwisterTwister  talk  00:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak delete. Bio and review at Allmusic, this from Blabbermouth.net, but not much else found. I am aware, however, that some metal bands get considerable coverage in metal magazines without much appearing online (although the 'reviews' section of the band's website doesn't look promising), so am open to keeping this if more can be found. --Michig (talk) 08:10, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, passes WP:NMG#5 as per last time. Stifle (talk) 11:55, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per Stifle and Blackmetalbaz at Articles for deletion/Waylander (band), who wrote that the band passes WP:MUSIC by having albums on Century Media, Listenable and Blackend, all of which are notable. Here is a source about the subject: The book notes: "Though Norway dominated folk black metal during the nineties, Ireland, another country with a rich history of folklore and folk music, also made something of a name for itself during this decade. Primordial, Cruachan, and Waylander are three respected Irish acts offering folk-influenced metal compositions, though it is undoubtedly Primordial who have maintained the closest relationship to black metal, to the extent that 1995 debut Imrama had only a few musical and thematic hints toward folk content." Although this is a passing mention, that the author called "Waylander" a "respected Irish act" that offered "folk-influenced metal compositions" strongly indicates that the band likely has received significant coverage in reliable offline metal magazines.
