[edit] Aural vampire

Contested speedy; seems like a nonnotable band to me but author made arguments for notability on the article's talk page, so I'm moving it here. NawlinWiki 00:47, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - One of the links presented on the talk page just mentions the band name with many others, and the other is a link to a forum. Fails WP:BAND. --Daniel Olsen 00:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment - From WP:BAND: "Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion." Claims of notability have been made, so let's give this a fair chance before deleting. -kotra 05:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per Dan. (|-- UlTiMuS 09:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for failing WP:MUSIC - no charted hits, no national tours, no multiple non-trivial third-party articles about the band. True, the talk page claims notability by a German tour - this has been cancelled, and would have been crystal-ballism in any case. The other nominal magazine source cited in the talk page is actually a forum posting at the magazine's site, not an article. Lastly, only 705 general Ghits, which boils down to 179 distinct hits.

• Delete. Not easy, one day they may be a "great band" in a more worldwide sense but for now for me real notability seems lacking --Nigel ^(Talk) 12:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: The author's reasons just don't quite show that the band is notable. Perhaps someday. Heimstern Läufer 22:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
