 * Comment, the first afd was a revenge nomination and had a flood of keep votes. The article appears to have only ever had 2 refs, currently 1, google is returning marginal fare which hints at a weak keep but without much evidence. It is a christian heavy metal band (Who'd have thunk it) that split in 2006, youtube showing upto 80,000 views for some of their songs. Szzuk (talk) 20:11, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * This nomination is not out of revenge but out of MUSICBIO and GNG. I ran a Google WP:BEFORE I nominated. For the record, I am an active member of the Christian music project and wouldn't nominate an article out of revenge or in an attempt to expunge Christian metal articles from the project.

 * I clearly stated the first afd was a revenge nomination, I was casting no doubt on this afd. Szzuk (talk) 20:34, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BAND, and I have not been able to find any sources that could establish notability based on WP:GNG. If someone unearths some non-trivial coverage in independent, reliable sources, then I would reconsider, but I haven't been able to find anything so far. Previous nom (12 years ago) may (or may not) have been made in bad faith, but that has no bearing on this nom. Yilloslime (talk) 20:27, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
