Article had been deleted via prod, then restored per request (WP:REFUND). I don't see any evidence that this band is notable; the few "sources" in the article are either unreliable, WP:PRIMARY, or don't discuss the band in detail. The band released 2 albums, but they don't seem to be on a major label, and don't otherwise meet WP:BAND. As such, I concur with the original prod and recommend deletion.

Disagree The band has been slow in production, though it's live appearance was massive and relevant (for example opening act of Hocico!). I've removed the broken links. The remaining ones are functional. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 14:59, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable. TV | talk 18:30, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stating notability only on sold albums number or on live audience numbers... then the whole cyber/harsh subculture should be entirely removed from WP. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 11:10, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can see the notability requirements in WP:BAND and/or WP:GNG. Under which criteria do you think this group qualifies? Qwyrxian (talk) 12:08, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The notability requirements are (to me) the live acts in the major worlwide cyber/elettrodark-scene and having been placed in rotation widely in the clubs. Sorry I can't provide literature about it. ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 19:24, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

that's all well and good and you are welcome to keep information about the band on your personal website, but what matters here is whether Wikipedia's notability standards have been met. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:30, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reading WP:Band, I would state that point 5 is ok (they released with NoiTekk, that's also hosting Grendel (band) !), that point 7 is ok (they are between the most representative bands in the south-america cyber-scene), that point 11 is ok (considering cyber web-radios, because cyber is never on rotation on the official channels !). ZipoBibrok5x10^8 (talk) 21:53, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you read #5 corretly, because NoiTekk would need to have a roster of people, many of whom are notable. Point 7 would need to be verified in a reliable source. Point 11 specifically refers to musics stations, not web-radio stations, unless you could show some evidence that the station itself is important. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:45, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

delete - I do not see any reliable sources that meet the stand alone article requirements at this time. there is myspace for the band to be responsible for its own promotion and when they make it big, we can recreate.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:30, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
