[edit] Rigor Mortis (band)

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

No independent reliable sources, notability is asserted only very weakly (people having once played in a notable band does not make every band they play in inherently notable). A discography that requires padding with demos is a dead giveaway. Guy (Help!) 09:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - This article could definitely use some cleanup and references, but they appear to pass WP:MUSIC. They released one album (Rigor Mortis) on Capitol Records and another (Freaks) on Metal Blade Records, and one of their songs appeared on the soundtrack to The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years [1]. Also, two Rigor Mortis members were later involved with other notable bands (GWAR, Ministry). Granted, you wouldn't know it from reading the article, but the band is worth keeping. --Bongwarrior 10:34, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - As per above, especially on Capitol Records record release. ScarianTalk 14:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep pass point 5 of WP:MUSIC. Lugnuts 17:41, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per all. Certainly notable; meets WP:MUSIC. Article needs work, though. Precious Roy 09:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep info above clearly establishes notability. Note that any discography should include demos the band released before signing. Chubbles 21:58, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
