[edit] Astriaal

• Speedy Delete: Non-notable band. Released a bunch of demos and EPs but only finally released a full-length in 2003 (the article says it's their debut). This doesn't adhere to the two-album rule in WP:BAND. No mentions on allmusic.com or Amazon. In fact, I can't even find an official website. Astriaal.com isn't a registered domain. Do they even still exist? —Wknight94 (talk) 01:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Wknight94, please do not bring speedy delete nominations here. In the future, put the appropriate CSD tag and move on. It takes less space and less steps for everyone. Thanks. --Perfecto 06:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Just saw this little note. From my experience, if there's any semblance of a discography in an article - and there was a lengthy one full of EPs in this case - admins refuse to do a speedy saying there's an assertion of notability. I've started explicitly stating that there's an assertion of notability to explain why I didn't speedy it. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - Jeez, it seems that half the AfD work these days is deep-sixing bands with no hits or notable members or Grammy awards. Ruby 01:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep They get a substantial amonut of Google hits... čĥàñľōŕď 02:28, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Unfortunately, that's not the criteria for having an article. They seem to have gotten one of their lyric sheets mirrored a zillion times on Google but that doesn't help meet WP:BAND. Notice what doesn't come up on Google? An official web site! Even my Aunt Irene has her own web site. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:32, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

• XXSouthern_SlayerXx I have actually seen Astriaal play and yes they do have an offical website and I have edited the page in some areas to at least update it a bit. I was recently talking to the lead vocalist at a concert and he told me that they do not have a google add at all so thats why they don't have an official website listing. 20:15, 26 January 2006 (EST) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by XXSouthern SlayerXx (talk • contribs).
