No evidence from reliable sources that the subject meets WP:MUSIC. Contested prod. MER-C 07:17, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Hmm. They get about 24K Ghits under their Japanese name with the star in the middle, and 10K under the Japanese name without the star. Their older music is available on amazon.co.jp and they are listed as having a label (Universal International). Their newest single is available at Tower Records and they are again listed with a label, Zenit Music Factory. But am I going to be defending this article, which looks so bad? There's no evidence that they have charted, and the clincher for me is the lack of an article on the JA Wiki. I am going to go with delete without bias against recreation of a better article in the future. The current article fails to assert notability, and it's off to Wiki heaven just for that.

  • Extra comment. The original version of the article at this rev was somewhat more encyclopedic in tone but also failed to assert notability. Dekimasu 03:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice to recreation. They're apparenly one of very few all-female visual kei bands out there. They ARE going on a national tour of Japan, but I have no way of evaluating the venues listed on the website. They released an album just recently. It would be a good transwiki to, wiki.theppn.org, though.. --Kunzite 04:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Very Weak Delete They've released two mini-albums and a couple of singles. They're with what appears to be a fairly major label, and touring in some reasonably sized venues nationally. They've had at least one major article, in Cure (a Japanese music/culture magazine -- unfortunately I haven't got a copy to use as a source). I think they're at least borderline with WP:BAND and arguably pass. But lack of sources tips it for me. Would switch to keep if even one independent reliable source were employed.

• Delete. Only blogs and a fan site for sources. Fails WP:RS and WP:V Cricket02 07:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
