[edit] God Forbid, Full Blown Chaos, Heaven Shall Burn

• Current text of is God Forbid is: "God Forbid is an American metalcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey." This fails to assert notability.
• Full Blown Chaos is similar, both from 24.61.134.62.
• Heaven Shall Burn also fails to assert notability (specifically, does not mention any records being released). Several other articles that anon IP has contributed to do assert notability, but in my opinion these do not.Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 02:18, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

*Delete all as a total waste of time. If you're going to write vanity, write vanity. One lousy sentence? I could scream. - Lucky 6.9 03:17, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all, but I'd prefer if non-related articles were listed on VfD seperately. Zoe 05:05, August 18, 2005 (UTC)OK, good job at improving, keep. Zoe 19:54, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • So noted. However, the first two are related in that they were created by the same anon ip within minutes, and the third one is also about a metalcore band, as are the first two. To me it's just easier to add them into an existing nomination than to create new ones, especially the first two. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 15:14, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all for the reasons mentioned above. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:07, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all. No assertion of notability. android79 12:27, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Change vote to Keep all, given added content. android79 17:01, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Isn't 'No assertion of notability' now grounds for speedy deletion? DJ Clayworth 14:20, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Only in the cases of people. The proposal to include that for bands and otherwise failed, so here we are. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 15:14, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep and expand for God Forbid, they have several albums out, check out their entry in amg. And most importantly, I, who tries to ignore metalcore, have actually heard of them! (I've seen their name in national magazines) ;) Also marginally keep for Full Blown Chaos and Heaven Shall Burn, they also have entries in amg, although I know nothing about how notable they really are in the metal world. --Etacar11 15:09, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Personally, I'm not going to take responsibility to check AMG for every. single. band. that comes across NewPages, there's tons of them. If you would like the articles to be kept, may I suggest also taking the time to edit the articles to make a reasonable claim of notability? Thanks. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 15:14, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, I understand where you're coming from, but I think when someone votes a little checking is in order. Like a google test at the very least. But that's just me. (Although many curses should be heaped on those who create such useless substubs, of course) I'll try to add a little something when I can. I wonder if the fact that I hate this kind of music will help or hinder NPOV? ;) --Etacar11 15:23, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep All - all three bands have recorded albums, Heaven Shall Burn and God Forbid have entries on AMG, Full Blown Chaos has albums purchasable on Amazon. I'll work on expanding these articles to better stubs, today. -Satori 15:41, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Just did a tiny expansion on God Forbid. You're welcome to take over, since this music is not my cup of tea. ;) --Etacar11 15:52, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Not really mine, either... I prefer my heavy metal to be brooding and move at a snail's pace.. but to each their own! Anyway, all three articles have now been expanded to show notability. -Satori 16:30, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• And a fine job at that. Changing vote to an enthusiastic keep for all three. I wish the party responsible for these in the first place would have at least alluded to some notability. - Lucky 6.9 18:17, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Recent edits have made done them good. Would like more though, I'm a total dinosaur in this field, so it won't be me. Alf 21:05, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep all, adequate notability jamesgibbon 23:41, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep now they have been rewritten. Capitalistroadster 00:21, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all -- Reinyday
