Not notable. Billboard link brings up a whole lot of "not available" nothing. Nothing else I can find that indications notability. Shadowjams (talk) 07:37, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Also take a look at User:TezCope, the OP account has similar links to the other creations. Shadowjams (talk) 07:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I cannot tell why Billboard has removed the article that was used for the reference in the first place, in any case I will remove it as a reference. However, since this is not the only reference to the article's notability, I can direct you to all the other references that prove notability. You can read the arguments on a previous deletion suggestion that resulted as "non consensus" to see how notability on this article is argumented. If you still need clarification, please follow up.

On TenPoundHammer's comment: I never referenced any wikipedia article on the Danger Angel article. Please specify. Oh I saw it, I am removing it promptly. Did not know this rule. Please, explain why you consider all sources unreliable. All sources are credible, certified media. Please, explain. Alexpts (talk) 11:04, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

• Questions for Alexpts
• 1. which coverage do you think has them being the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable?
• 6. Who are these two members? I see none.
• 11. Where is any evidence of rotation?
• 12. What half-hour or longer broadcast are you refering to? duffbeerforme (talk)

• 1. I list several independent media that have published articles on Danger Angel, either in the form of an album review, an interview or live reports. Those media are in no way connected to the band. I have referenced media from around the world.
• 6. Members ( at the time of recordings) are Jeff Scott Soto (Journey, talisman, Y. Malmsteen etc.) and Mark Cross (Helloween, Firewind, Kingdom come etc.). Some are internet publications and some printed press. The printed press media is Rock Hard, an edition that is released in several countries around Europe. I have not included any articles that are just referring to the band or the band's events. All such references are either dedicated articles, interviews or reviews by unbiased media.
• 11/12. I have referenced rotation by at least one French open air radio station and two web radios out of different countries and I have included the airplays. However, I am not sure I know how to reference open air broadcasts in the article since all radio broadcasts are done and out when finished. Do I have to procure recordings of some kind? The band has appeared in at least 12 radio shows during the past three months, in nationwide radios in Greece in the forms of interviews and presentations. I really don't know how I can materialize such a thing into a reference. If I just put it there is not really proof, is it? If you know a way, please, let me know how to do it.
