[edit] Archgoat

Vanity article on obscure band Mecanismo | Talk 23:22, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Found some of their music at Amazon. +9,000 Goggle hits. That's good enough for me. -- JJay 02:43, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment there isn't a entry in allmusic guide and according to this] and this, the band formed in 1989, broke up in 1991, rejoined in 2004 and released a 7" EP in 2005. That makes them a non-notable band and therefore unworthy of an encyclopedia article. --Mecanismo | Talk 12:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• I disagree. -- JJay 18:18, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• Yes, I noticed you normally disagree with my AFD submittions. I've noticed that you disagree quite a lot without stating any basis whatsoever. But if you wish to cast a vote, please take some time to reflect on the subject and don't let your ego get involved. --Mecanismo | Talk 23:12, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• My reason is stated above. Something wrong with google or Amazon? -- JJay 23:44, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

• Ask that to the good people who compiled the WP:MUSIC band notability metrics. They do not list amazon or google as a notability source. On the other hand, they do list album releases and the band in question doesn't even meet that requisite, let alone the others. Therefore it is proven that the band is non-notable and the article on them should be deleted --Mecanismo | Talk 03:29, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Sorry, but I can't agree with that. See my original comment. -- JJay 03:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - influential in Scandinavian music. Claims to notoriety beyond simple record sales. Claims backed up as above. First of something, influential, all relevant. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 06:21, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
  • By the way, they have tons of Google influence. I tried looking for reviews here [1] and there's thousands of them, including this [2], this [3], this on amazon [4], this [5], this [6], this [7] and I could just keep going. They are huge.
