[edit] Choronzon (Band)

This article does not meet the criteria for notability in a music article, as the only label the band has ties to is a non-notable one. Additionally, the article was written by one of the band members; User:Psychaotic is the vocalist/synthesizer player. EvilCouch 00:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I believe you are misrepresenting some of the facts. They are associated with at least two indie labels: Nocturnal Art (the one that is likely a borderline notable label, been around for at least 12 years) and Earache Records (one that is definitely notable, and has been around for about 20 years). They have at least two albums out through NA, and at least one out through ER. They have other albums out in addition to those produced by the two labels above. As for the article being written by the band, that is a possibility. It is also a possibility that it's just a fan of the band. Unless we have proof positive otherwise, we must assume good faith on the part of that editor. It might be more productive for people to go and edit the article than to just AfD it without even trying to clean it up (more than it already is, as it was cleaned up due to a previous AfD in January 2006, and one for an article that was eventually merged into this one in February 2006. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment: They are not associated with Earache Records. I believe you are confusing Choronzon (album) by Akercocke (which is under the Earache Records label) with Choronzon (Band). Additionally, the user name Psychaotic is used in several dozen websites by someone proporting to be a member of the band. I find it hard to believe that it is a coincidence that the same user name was the original author of the article. EvilCouch 01:35, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Aha, I hadn't caught that before. In that case, Delete'. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This article has been kept previously, what makes it different this time? ςפקιДИτς ☺ ☻ 02:26, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Previously the article did not make claim to be notable. In its current form it does make claim to be notable, however the claim is false as per the reasoning above and on the article's discussion page. EvilCouch 02:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. Doesn't quite meet WP:MUSIC. The first album is on a notable label, but the last four [1] are on labels that don't have a Discogs [2] entry and get very few Google results. The number of listeners on Last.fm [3] seems rather small too. Heavy use of WP:AUTO doesn't help either. [4]. Prolog 09:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
