non-notable/non-reputable sources and coverage BringThemDown (talk) 03:00, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:17, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Note that this is about a band that fails the music group notability guideline. NME coverage found by Google News is in fact copied from Wikipedia itself. Other results are false positives. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:27, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 20:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How could anyone say this band should be deleted? That makes no sense at all. What requirements are they not meeting? This is obviously just an attack. Is wiki just deleting bands now? I saw deadstar assembly got deleted. Another awesome band. Wiki must be circling the drain if they keep this up —Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.133.62.18 (talk) 04:46, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IN regards to the Notability as set forth by wikipedia, 1.Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.,The band has had articles and interview in many national and regional publications including looker magazine, rag magazine, City Link,new times, ect. 4.Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.-They have toured the U.S. 7 times, their 2 most recent tours with Mushroomhead received extensive amounts of press, a quick google search can show some for the pages such as MTV, and Blabbermouth that covered the tours.

5. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).Toxic Shock records is a notable indie label. HFLs label mates include psychotica, and Team Cybergiest featuring Angel from Dope

6.Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles.-The band is led only by one person and features rotating live members Seven has also worked closely with other bands such as Crossbreed, and 16VOLT. They also release a remix album with remixes by Crossbreed, 16VOLT,KMFDM, BILE, Team cybergiest, as well as many other national " notable" bands.

11.Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.-Human Factors Lab has regular radio play national, as well as varies podcasts such as razorblade dance floor,

I think it is safe to that that although Human Factors Lab does not meet ALL 12 of the criteria, (to be notable they only have to meet one,)they do in fact meet 5 right off the bat). Statements made by Elblots and Smerdis of Tlön are indeed false by saying the band does not meet the notability guidlines, Perhaps more research before makeing such statements would have helped

This bands website has fallen under vandalism attacks by previous members of the band. This deletion request is a part of these attacks and should be treated as an attempt to vandalize the bands wikipedia article, as well as wikipedia itself —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.119.152.6 (talk) 17:33, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's been years since I worked on this article, I've no particular opinion on it. I did tend to think it was notable at the time I worked upon it, but whether it's truly notable, I'm not so sure. I'd be inclined to go with deletion for it if I was pushed, but it could easily go either way, I suspect. Nick (talk) 20:53, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

if anyone checks the history i think its obvious this is vandalism. Comments like " small weiner" and other childish things being added to it make this clear. I cant imagine the Human Factors Lab wiki page not being notable, perhaps there is information missing that could help? im not sure.. it seems fairly complete. perhaps there is a way to help the page, instead of lettering Wikipeda fall victim to vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HFLSev3n (talk • contribs) 23:40, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This band is in no way valid by the terms set by Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elblots (talk • contribs) 01:33, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Total 3rd party here. I don't think it should be taken down. They have national noteriaty. They have played w big name big lable bands. I say keep it! Loogie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.171.234.186 (talk) 04:59, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You vandalized articles in two of your three edits [1] [2]. What brings you here? Yappy2bhere (talk) 05:24, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment BringThemDown, 32.133.62.18, 75.119.152.6, HFLSev3n, and Elblots are all single purpose accounts. Strictly speaking, Elblots was created to argue the deletion of Deadstar Assembly, but since the two bands play together [3] I think it's fair to include the Deadstar Assembly supporter(s) as interested parties. Yappy2bhere (talk) 05:54, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another 3rd party here it is not the band responsible for the page vandalism it is it's past members who think that since they are not in the band anymore they feel like they should cause controversy within the band.. and as someone metioned the removal of DSA one question. Why? Both great bands with great followings.. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.51.16.4 (talk) 14:38, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
