DarkSun

Non-notable band, fails WP:BAND. No reliable sources (sorry, MySpace doesn't count), no evidence of signing by a major label or a song on a recognized chart. Article borders on fancruft. Only thread of notability I can find is that the band split off from another band with an article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing WP:MUSIC. ~~I don't think Nörthwind is all that notable either, might wanna check into it.~~ Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:38, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was working on it as you wrote. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nörthwind. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:45, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My bad. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing bad at all. You're just fast, and smart. :-) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:01, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article is unlikely to be deleted. I do agree that I need to enunciate the band's notability better. I think it could be btter just to tag on the article {{unsourced}} because you're right about one thing - it needs references. Rockk3r Talk to me 15:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Unless you're able to find reliable sources references that I couldn't find, there's just not enough there for DarkSun to pas the notability standards. But feel free to add any you find. My mind can (and has been) changed. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the band's official website says that they have worked with many important bands like: Primal Fear, Sinner, Rage, Angra... Also says that their album El Lado Oscuro had a great acceptance by the public and was named one of the best Spanish heavy metal albums of the year, they have releasedn 3 studio albums in 5 or 6 years and they are recordind their 4th one DarkSun Website, They wouldn't lie on their website. If this is not important tell me what is then. Rockk3r (talk 13:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They wouldn't lie on their web site? Really? I think I have some prime real estate in the South Alabama Swamps I'd like to sell you at a great price.... Of course they may lie on their web site! People do it all the time! Yeesh... - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above, no reliable sources, I've found information on them on a couple of Spanish news website [1] but the coverage doesn't appear to be substantial enough (on the band itself I mean) and there are not enough sources, i.e., WP:MUSIC is still not satisfied (I've just noticed that WP:BAND redirects elsewhere now).

Delete no reliable third-party sources that indicate that this band meets any of the WP:MUSIC criteria. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 10:21, 17 February 2008 (UTC).[reply]
