[edit] The Suicide Club Berlin 1995

The Suicide Club Berlin 1995 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested prod. Release by a notable artist, but this seems to be a very non notable release. The title as used on Wikipedia gives 6 Google hits, none of them independent of Wikipedia[1]. His label gives a slightly different title though (and indicates that it is a limited order release)[2]. With this title, we get an edditional thirteen Google hits[3], again none of them indicating any notability through reliable independent sources. It is nowadays so easy to release some Live CDs (certainly DJ sets), that simply being by a notable artist can hardly be considered enough anymore. This record is a perfect example of a release that has gone completely unnoticed outside the fan circle of Alec Empire. Fram 18:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

mix has been referred to under various titles, googling "Suicide Club" "alec empire" returns about 1,000 hits. the mix was released under a notable record label, given its own catalog number and given a wide release via his tours and website. --AlexOvShaolin 00:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

And most of these near 1,000 hits are not about this record, but about the club in general, or even a completely unrelated club (e.g. the Chicago Suicide Club), or about a similar titled record by the Snic Subjunkies. Removing only the last one reduces the Google hits directly to a mere 78[4]. Fram 07:25, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete unless the article is verifiably sourced before the end of this AfD. A1octopus 22:22, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with A1octopus. Given the research by Fram, I would suggest retitling the article to the official name and merging with the parent article, since it seems to lack stand-alone notability, but there's nothing sourced to merge. Its sole claim to notability is its existence. I have changed the name of the release at the Alec Empire discography to match the source. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:25, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
