[edit] Life... But How To Live It?

Non-notable "Norwegian Hardcore" band Private Butcher 18:29, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Also no matter how many searches I do, I can't find one bit of information on this "band" (I use "band" because it might not even exist) Private Butcher 19:13, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Finally found small bit of information, but nothing that makes it any bit "notable". Private Butcher 19:15, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

It's also copied directly from the website [1]. Private Butcher 19:42, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

1. Delete Per nom. Private Butcher 18:29, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I've changed my mind, I've looked over everything, but the article is still directly copied from [2], so it needs some work. Private Butcher 20:02, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

• Soft Keep. I'm a big fan of getting rid of nn bands but if it's substantiated it looks approaching noteworthiness. Ifnord 18:50, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep Seems to meet the criteria at WP:MUSIC including a tour and multiple albums. --Reflex Reaction 19:35, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as nn.Gator1 19:33, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--if true, the contents of the article are clearly keepable ("ruled the Norwegian metal scene", 5 albums or so, toured Europe, etc.) The question is, do they exist? I think so. Here's their entry in the Norwegian band index; here you can buy their album from interpunk.com ("the ultimate punk music store"); here's an entry in the Music Information Centre Norway about them; here, their label is listed. Granted, it's pretty hard to find evidence for them, and there's no allmusic entry, but I think it's pretty conclusive that they do exist, and are therefore notable. Meelar (talk) 19:36, 20 October 2005 (UTC) P.S. How are they non-notable? They clearly meet the WP:MUSIC standards Delete as copyvio, unless someone rewrites this. Meelar (talk) 02:04, 21 October 2005 (UTC) Apparently rewritten as non-copyvio; my original keep vote stands. Meelar (talk) 05:37, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
• If there is uncertanity as to whether or not the band existed, try http://www.blitz.no/filer/musikk/index.html for a few samples of their music. Some of the members are now in the band Drunk, have a look at http://www.drunk.no/ and have a look at "Bio and Photos" in the menu, Life... But Hot To Live It? is mentioned there. I can also supply you a photo of all their CD/LP covers (as soon as the battery for my camera is sufficiently charged up). Also see http://www.awarecords.ndo.co.uk/photos/life2.htm Update I have now changed the text in the introduction so that it is no longer copy/paste from the webpage referred to above (which btw have been unavailable, apart from on archive.org, since 2001). As to the discography, I do not find very much to change, these are just facts there for reference. Oddbjorn82 (talk)
• Speedy Delete under category A8. They qualify under WP:MUSIC but the existing article is a clear copyvio as noted by the nominator. Capitalistroadster 00:45, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as it appears to be a copyvio no more. In addition to above arguments, they are notable in the Norwegian Blitz community. Punkmorten 19:09, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
