[edit] Confessor (band)

Non-notable band. Only claim to notability is three albums that I can't find on three different "independent" labels. Ifnord 18:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete never heard of them--Snakes 18:25, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. While I'm no personal fan of the band, I certainly think they deserve the space. Earache Records, Combat Records and Season of Mist are no tiny underground labels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by user:KFD (talk • contribs)
• Comment. The photo I uploaded show them on a gig with Arcturus (band), Red Harvest (band), Tsjuder and Nattefrost (although the latter had to cancel).
• Comment. On that gig, these bands were all filmed, and there will be DVDs out shortly on Season of Mist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by user:KFD (talk • contribs)
• Comment. The band split in the nineties, I believe, but are back now. Anyway, as I said, I'm no fan, but I think you should consult the Doom Metal people before saying they are non notable.--KFD 17:53, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The labels are apparently sufficiently significant to have articles on them. Allmusic has a brief bio on this band that appears to confirm the records. So I don't see any good reason for deletion here at all. I bet they even meet WP:MUSIC guidelines. There are hundreds of thousands of articles about things I've never heard of, that doesn't mean the articles shouldn't be. Friday (talk) 18:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. PJM 19:58, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. They fit this WP:MUSIC description:

"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)." —Preceding unsigned comment added by user:KFD (talk • contribs)

• Comment. Earache alone has 341 releases.

Combathas ceased to exist, but has released albums by Megadeth, Nuclear Assault, Exodus and Celtic Frost. They're all very big names in Thrash Metal and Black Metal.—Preceding unsigned comment added by user:KFD (talk • contribs)

• keep. No reason for them not to be on here. Verifiable and at least somewhat notable. Not hearing of a band isn't grounds for deletion.--TaeKwonTimmy 03:20, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've never heard of em but if in doubt, keep. Seems fairly clear to me that this band went 'beyond the bedroom'. They released records, have fans, and picked up an AMG entry. More than enough surely? --kingboyk 19:32, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • • Keep***as a musician i say keep all music alive, there's no good or bad
