[edit] Anyone

Anyone (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Also nominating: Riz Story (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• This band and its leader, Riz Story, struggle to meet WP:MUSIC. Only one album on a notable label (Roadrunner Records), and no songs that reached any national singles charts. The band appear to have been semi-inactive since then. I tried looking for sources and found a few, but not many. Kerrang magazine noticed them briefly around 2001. h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 16:37, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete only had one album released on a notable label, so therefore fails WP:MUSIC. Lugnuts (talk) 17:47, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• I don't want this page to be deleted particularly, but what I am sure of is that this band's notability or non-notability is definitely borderline (it's certainly not an A7) and worth having an AfD for.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 17:50, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• Also I forgot to add that they may meet WP:MUSIC criterion 8 or 9 in that they were named best new band by Kerrang! magazine, which is not a major award but they did win one of the larger minor awards...-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 18:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• Honestly, I feel that this band and its leader should be notable. But I really do have my doubts at the same time.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 04:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete. No substantial third party coverage of this band is cited. Sandstein (talk) 15:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. Is an interview in Kerrang! magazine a reliable source? I used to have the exact magazine where this interview came from.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:27, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• Found another non-trivial source.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:30, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• Riz Story also directed a pornographic film and I am effectively certain (ha, oxymoron) that it is the same person as the guy in this band.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• Also [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8].-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:34, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• I seriously consider anyone voting delete take a look at those sources. I don't want to lose this article, but I nominated it for deletion as a test of notability. Clearly there are multiple, non-trivial reliable published sources about this band.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:46, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

• Nom withdrawn due to my finding of many more third-party sources. When closing this AfD you may wish to consider that although not much third-party coverage is cited yet in the actual article, since the AfD began I have found enough sources for this to pass WP:N. I may merge Riz Story to Anyone and redirect, though.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 22:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
