Deconversion[edit]

Hi there,

Just to let you know I was previously unaware of the band, so have no axe to grind. I am happy to help you improve their article to enable it to reach WP standards. However, with regards to the list articles - in the absence of reliable sources, bands should not be added to the lists. "Reliable" at WP does not mean "what you consider trustworthy"; they must pass the relevant criteria. Webzines and blogs don't, unless their material has been independently published elsewhere by a third-party, preferably print party. Print magazines are a good bet (not fanzines; commercially published magazines). Sometimes people come back at me with the complaint that underground metal doesn't get this press; this is not true. There are plenty of magazines that cover extreme metal, and if the band in question hasn't had significant coverage, that is probably because it is not notable enough for an encyclopedia (even one as broad as this one - this is not advertising space). Any questions, feel free to message me and I'll help in any way I can. Regards, Blackmetalbaz (talk) 18:46, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
