[edit] Assück

Assück (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log) Fails WP:MUSIC. Seems to be just an advertisement article to promote an unknown band. No references to back up claims of grandeur: "They were one of the most important North American extreme metal bands and still have a strong cult following" Scarian^Talk 17:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• SPeedy delete. A7 IMHO would be fine, but they also assert the importance - they just don't deliver the goods. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: Speedy was declined unfortunately. Scarian^Talk 20:24, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Probably because of that assertion. Ah, well. Still, my !vote stands. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete unless someone can come up with better reliable sources than I was able to - a two-paragraph Rockdetector bio and a discography on Rollingstone.com. Unverifiable at present. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, present on Allmusic as well Aaronbrick (talk) 02:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure that Allmusic is a sign of notability. It's kind of like calling a presence in the white pages a sign of notability. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

• Ja, having a page on Allmusic does not guarantee or assert notability. Scarian^Talk 22:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete nn subject. Fair Deal (talk) 03:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons already stated above. Seal Clubber 01:29, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The band is to important User:Crustbastard 5:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Poor article and unreferenced; still, they were a pretty big underground band with many releases, toured the country, and got non-trivial coverage in major zines like Maximumrocknroll. No, I don't have the references, but deleting this article would be exceedingly hasty, especially since the article was tagged for lack of references only 3 hours before this AfD started.

• Weak Keep-based simply sparse mentions in a couple of notable media sources. Peter Fleet (talk) 09:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Coverage in Maximum RocknRoll and Allmusic is pretty good for a well-known underground grindcore band; the genre, despite having a loyal fanbase, doesn't get covered in Rolling Stone or Newsweek more than once a lifetime. Chubbles (talk) 14:39, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
