[edit] Lake of Tears

Lake of Tears (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No independent sources at all for a band article that reads like bandspam. Seriously, it doesn't even try to be encyclopedic. It's WP:VSCA and fails WP:RS. Almost qualifies under CSD:G11. Also, unfortunately, because it's written as hype, it makes all sorts of assertions of notability that are not backed up whatsoever. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep They are listed at Allmusic. Also they have an interview in an English language online metal magazine, and it looks like some non-English Google news hits. (If the band is being considered for nomination, may I recommend also listing their related albums as well, as linked in their discography). The article needs serious cleanup however, not just for content but overuse of the 'fact' template. Eliz81^{(talk)(contribs)} 17:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Just needs better sourcing. Sometimes notable foreign bands can be easily mistaken as non-notable, due to the fact it can be hard finding google hits, etc. This seems like one of those times. -WarthogDemon 21:39, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

  Comment And I forgot to mention that yes, this DOES need serious cleanup as User:Eliz81 states. -WarthogDemon 21:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep but tag with {{cleanup-rewrite}}. Stifle (talk) 21:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I did my best to edit the article, considering all your suggestions. If I missed something or there still anything else to be done, please say it. Costinbanu 15:57, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep It definitely needs rewriting for a more objective tone, but the claims of it not being notable enough are out of the question. The band is well known in Europe. GreenSprite 11:46, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
