The result was Delete per lack of reliable sources to establish notability. Eluchil404 18:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if this band fails notability, but I suspect they do. The only sources given are tweepop.net, allmusic, a blog, and (of course!) their own Myspace. I think that still fails WP:RS. They are currently "signed to" a redlink. I'd be happy to see this come out as a "keep", though, provided independent sources are added to this article.

- Keep Is AllMusic not a good external source? I have received the impression from my observations and from others that it's a good source. I'm not saying that a link on AllMusic is automatic notability; it isn't. That's just Point #1. My second point is that it's a Finnish band; and from my experience, foreign bands are considerably hard to find information about unless they're REALLY well known, like
Lacuna Coil, System Of A Down,and Rammstein. At the moment this band does not appear to be THAT notable, however I'm thinking it could become notable enough, should it get the necessary cleanup it needs. -WarthogDemon 22:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Allmusic.com accepts user-submitted information, doesn't it? does that make it as good an external source as a professional magazine? I admit the band could still be notable, and I have nothing against Finland; I just wonder if anyone saying "aw, they're totally notable" will add the links to the article before this AfD closes.

- Comment - Point taken with AllMusic.com, however as I said I'm not saying Keep just because they're on that site. If Allmusic were the only source on here, my vote would've been the opposite. -WarthogDemon 23:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Week keep; 5 minutes of straight-forward research says they're sufficiently notable. --xDanielxTalk 22:42, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Did that "5 minutes of straight-forward research" supply anything to be added to the article or presented here such that others might agree or disagree? It would be most helpful, if you found any encyclopedic information, if you added it to the article. — Scientizzle 18:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
