[edit] Extrema (band)

Extrema (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non notable. The two sites just take you to a homepage or a myspace page, none of which assert notability. Metal Head (talk) 15:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Weak delete I can find web references to this band doing national tours in Italy with Slayer and opening for Metallica, which could give them a presumption of notability under WP:MUSIC. However, I can find reliable sources to that effect, and I can't read Italian. I suspect that a U.S.-based band of this level could be shown notable, but as it stands I can't make the case that they are. Xymmax (talk) 16:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment Sorry, I meant to write can't find reliable sources... Xymmax (talk) 17:49, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per the showing of notability by Richfife below. Nice job. Xymmax (talk) 14:54, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Wikipedia doesn't value foreign language sources less than local ones. Their record company is here. They were signed to V2 Records (which is a major label) at one point and are still on their webpage. Article about changing labels: [1]. Here's evidence of them appearing in a notable festival: [2]. - Richfife (talk) 16:50, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment I agree about the validity of foreign sources. If V2 is considered a major label then I concur notability is shown. Xymmax (talk) 17:56, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment What notable bands have signed to V2? Never mind that question, I got the search to work.Metal Head (talk) 18:12, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

White Stripes and Moby for a start: White Stripes V2 page, Moby V2 page. - Richfife (talk) 18:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per Richfife's research Doc Strange (talk) 14:29, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: On a notable label, and associated with super-notable bands, plus there are sources to be found online. J Milburn (talk) 14:38, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment If there are many sources online, then they should be mentioned on the page. Also, this article needs major work. Right now, it's hardly anything.Metal Head (talk) 14:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
