[edit] Gravemist

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

I initially deleted this as not asserting notability but the author quickly recreated it. While I admire their effort, this article is a clear attempt to promote the band and it is mostly an autobiographical conflict of interest. It is written by User:Nnoctis who you will note is one of the two musicians in the band. She also spread mentions of the band all over Wikipedia, including List of Satanists, Gothabilly, and... Absinthe in popular culture. While there are some links to band interviews in minor blogs and subculture web sites, there are no reliable references backing up any claims of notability.

  • Week delete. This is not an easy case. For this music genre, getting what we call "reliable sources" is quite hard, and having interviews at two websites that I have never heared of doesn't establish notability per se. I have tagged the page with {{music-importance}} and will switch to keep if at least one independent (non-interview) source is found by someone else. – sgeureka t•c 12:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, a few mentions on unreliable review sites does not notability make. --Eyrian 13:54, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:COI and WP:NMG. --Malcolmxl5 17:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete A self made promotional article created by the members of a non-notable band. If you're going to create an article trying to advertise for your band at least avoid the first person when doing so. Geez. NeoFreak 20:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
