[edit] Power Quest

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

Fails to assert notability. Fails WP:BAND. Possible WP:COPYVIO, in any case, if one takes a peek at their official site. Scarian^{Call me Pat} 16:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Withdraw - I am withdrawing my nomination as I have overlooked critereon 6 of WP:MUSIC. Scarian^{Call me Pat} 03:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they all fail WP:MUSIC too:

Wings of Forever (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Neverworld (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Magic Never Dies (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Master of Illusion (album) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - Scarian^{Call me Pat} 16:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete all, fails to assert notability per WP:MUSIC. The ttemplate at the bottom of the page has also been listed at WP:TFD. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, seems to pass WP:RS and criterion 6 of WP:MUSIC (member of another notable band). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 19:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Gah? The group has Wiki pages in three other languages and releases on important labels. Clearly has enough international recognition to merit inclusion. Kill the copyvio, rewrite and expand. Chubbles (talk) 17:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment - important labels? Please state why you think they're important. Do they have a large roster(s) of notable acts? Scarian^{Call me Pat} 17:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Napalm Records does, indeed. They also have a release in Japan on Pony Canyon (listed at Allmusic). Chubbles (talk) 17:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not very convinced that Napalm Records is a notable label; despite a wide roster, most of its acts seem marginally notable if at all. Unless the label can be proven notable, my !vote stays. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[Edit conflict] - They haven't released anything on that label though. They've only signed to it. WP:MUSIC states: "Has released two or more albums on a major label..." and "or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." - This band satisfies neither of those yet. And keeping this article until the band does release something on that label would violate WP:CRYSTAL because we'd assume that they would be releasing something. Scarian^{Call me Pat} 17:30, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

That's fair. However, there is some press about the band: Just two days ago the band was covered by Blabbermouth.net, and they have a profile on the BBC website. Chubbles (talk) 17:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep meets WP:MUSIC#6, with the ex-member from DragonForce. I bet they've also done national/international tours, given the apparent buzz, though we'd have to find a reliable source to confirm that. Rigadoun (talk) 19:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
