[edit] Capitalist Casualties

Minor band on very minor label (allmusic lists only a couple of dozen releases over a decade or so). No evidence of appreciable sales or following, no mention of chart position on indie or other charts. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 18:14, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per the fact that they have several albums listed on All Music Guide. Underground following, but enough to be sold on Amazon. Punkmorten 20:53, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Capitalist Casualties is a known band in grindcore circles, and there is no reason to delete the entry just because someone thinks it is a "minor band on very minor label". The article does need development though. - Quirk 18:29, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

• No reason other then WP:NMG, obviously. Interpretation of some facets of this guideline may be subjective, of course, but to suggest that it was not referenced is scarcely good faith. For the record the guideline says:

1. Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country*

2. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one large or medium-sized country.

3. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour over notable musical venues in at least one large or medium-sized country*, reported in mainstream media.

4. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

5. Has been prominently featured in any major music media.

6. Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.

7. Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

8. Has won a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno or Mercury Music Award.

I looked for and did not find evidence of any of the above. So I brought it here. And I may be wrong, someone may have evidence that it meets these criteria, but band vanity is sufficiently common as to make it quite understandable that one would be sceptical. And nobodyu is infallible, which is why we have votes. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] (W) AfD? 20:23, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
