[edit] MetaPhase

I originally tagged this with a db-band, but TruthbringerToronto came along and de-speedied it with the note “Removed CSD: probably notable” and then moved it from “True MetaPhase” to this page. Sadly, the user didn’t leave any indication of notability in his wake. That’s okay, I’m off deadline, so can do some research.

Google turns up quite a few references to MetaPhase, but mostly to the biological term. ‘“MetaPhase” drum’n’bass’ turned up about 2000 hits, but a cursory wander through the first few pages suggested that the artist is referred to on a number of forums now and again as well as on his own pages without anything resembling a notable, reliable source. Thus, verifiability appears to be missing. And then there’s WP:MUSIC, under which the artist completely fails. No charted hits, no indication of international tours, no records certified gold. Several self-released albums for download, and one through FoulPlay Records, which got about ten Google hits and no outside reference at all. I would suggest this indicates a lack of notability for the label.

All in all, I can not find any indication of notability for this artist. Delete. What do you think, sirs? Tony Fox (arf!) 21:06, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
