[edit] God of War (band)

No vote, procedural nom. Article apparently a vanity for a demo band, but it does assert that they were signed to Universal Music Group. Whether this is true I cannot say. You decide!- CrazyRussian talk/email 12:49, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Their myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/godofwar states: Record Label: Looking.. Of course, maybe that's out of date. Per the article they've signed with a subsidiary of UMG, whether that makes any difference. Tonywalton  | Talk 13:08, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete. They are most likely not signed to Universal. The article creator changed the record label from "looking/negotiating" to Universal after his article was deleted the 2nd (or 3rd?) time. The rest of the article is biased band-member advertising and ridiculous claims like "Over the next year, Nyx now renamed to Chambers of Nyx redefined and perfected a unique metal style all their own... etc." Prolog 13:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. If there is any concrete indication that they're signed with UMG, we need to keep the article (per WP:BAND). Barring that, however, the article should be deleted. alphaChimp ^laudare 14:39, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless and until the UMG connection can be verified. Jacqui^★ 14:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - no evidence of claim that they're signed to Universal. Even if they are signed, they have not yet released an album on said label, and thus appear to fail WP:BAND at this time. If the claim that they are signed to Universal is false, the claim may have been made because Universal bought the rights to the God of War video game for purposes of making a movie [1] - maybe it was thought that we wouldn't look closely at our Google searches and believe the news was about the band instead? --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 14:56, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. NawlinWiki 21:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. --Joelmills 01:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
