[edit] Cultus Ferox

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

It is not a notable band; it could probably even be eligible for "speedy deletion" per {{db-band}} ElminsterAumar 05:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep, bad faith nomination of an article I've created, in retribution for my recent work. That aside:
    • Metal.de and gothic-online.de reviews constitute substantial coverage in multiple independent sources (WP:MUSIC 1)
    • They have toured Germany (WP:MUSIC 4)
    • They have published multiple albums on a large German label (WP:MUSIC 5)
    • The German Wikipedia has a nice, longstanding article on them: de:Cultus Ferox.
  • Hope that's clear. All this has been accomplished despite the enormous lack of English sources for a German band. --Eyrian 05:45, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
    • So they are notable because they have toured a small country like Germany? Anyone can tour a country if they have enough money to pay for gas. Furthermore, the links you gave to their albums are red links. Even Dungeons & Dragons has a much larger societal impact than this band.--ElminsterAumar 05:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Also, the only article that links to this band is M'era Luna Festival, a tiny article that consists mostly of lists of band names that have attended it.--ElminsterAumar 05:57, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
      • Medieval rock now links there because Eyrian just added it into a list a few seconds ago.--ElminsterAumar 06:00, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Eyrian's findings. I'm concerned about how much coverage I can find, but considering it's an international artist this isn't surprising. However, it definitely passes WP:MUSIC 4 and 5. Germany is not a small country by any means - it's easily one of the largest in Europe - and heck, country size isn't even part of the criteria of WP:MUSIC #4; just that the country has sovereignty, which Germany certainly does.
