[edit] Aquaria

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

Non-notable band with non-notable members. Article does not mention any reason why this band is notable, except the fact it exists. — Kieff | Talk 00:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Unsigned band. --MacRusgail 00:45, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete fails to assert or prove notability.--John Lake 01:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
    • It asserts notability via the record label they are on. —siroχo 20:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per the above. References to support and assert notability must be provided for inclusion. --Haemo 01:38, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Very weak keep. They have a release on a large Brazilian metal label, and are recording a second. Hesitate to delete for fear of introducing systemic bias. —siroχo 01:55, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - I hate seeing articles like this go, but I couldn't find anything other than one of their band members being part of The Supremacy. Doesn't meet WP:BAND unfortunately :( Changing to Keep, per the new information below. I think that plus the band member from The Supremacy = passing WP:BAND-K@ngiemeep! 05:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep after all. I fear systemic bias here; this Google search gives several independent album reviews in multiple languages [1]; [2]; [3]; [4]. I'm far far away from this market and music, so I can't judge on prominence of those sites, but they look fairly good. As Siroxo said, the record label is fairly large. I'd give them benefit of the doubt. Duja► 09:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The language barrier makes it harder for me to accurately determine how notable they are, but as Duja shows, there seems to be a subtantial amount of information on them. -- Chairman S. Talk Contribs 10:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment: Aquaria, an unrelated game is slated to come out this spring. If this article is kept, it may have to be moved in the future, or a disambiguation page made. -Aknorals 15:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Legit band with release on legit record label. That's enough for me. —xanderer 21:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. They are on Scarecrow Records, who lists Edguy, Dark Tranquillity, and Sentenced as a few other bands on its roster. I suggest cleaning up Aquaria's article and making their notability more clear. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 21:34, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Easily meets music qualifications and notability. - Denny 05:57, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
