[edit] Zeus (band)

Zeus (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A perspective but still underground group. Their biggest success was winning the contest of the Festival Nova scena (festival that tries to promote unknown musicians) in 2005. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 10:49, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• weak delete does not appear to meet MUSIC. Is the Festival Nova Scena a notable competition? I don't think it helps that the username of the primary editor indicates that he is a member of the band. Not enough reason on its own, but notability is usually helped if someone else starts the article off. StephenBuxton (talk) 20:50, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Comment: The competition itself is notable. See Festival of New Songs. If being the winner of this competition is enough for inclusion in Wikipedia I would like to revoke the nomination. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 15:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: Festival of New Songs is not a major music competition, in fact, it is a non-notable festival for new artists in Slovenia.

• comment Could someone provide a brief run-down of that festival link (in English) please? As the article's fate depends on whether or not the festival's competition is notable, a translation would help. Is it a major festival in Slovenia? StephenBuxton (talk) 22:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Further comment Could anyone commenting/voting/holding an interest in this discussion please also check out Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Festival of New Songs? The fate of this article and the FENS do appear to be inter-linked: either they both stay, or they both go. StephenBuxton (talk) 22:55, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Actually the two are independent... the two authors who are arguing these cases the in opposition to one another. The one who want to see this article kept wants to see the other deleted. But even if the other is kept, winning it does not convey notability to said group.Balloonman (talk) 06:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Delete There is an interlink to the Slovene Wikipedia where this Group has a fairly significant article. I propose that the nominator for AfD here, take the article on Slovene Wikipedia to their version to AfD and once deleted there, we can delete here. Despite the fact that an article exists there, I do not believe that conveys automatic notability to the English version of Wikipedia. There is a clear COI issue as the author of both the Eng and Slovene articles appears to be a member of the group.Balloonman (talk) 06:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Looking at the present standing of the article, my opinion is a clear Delete. Beside the fact that the author of the article is a band member (presumably...), the article contains no references and does not assert notability. has released three albums, performed at over 1000 concerts, and has contributed to several charity and environmental causes does not count (no references, not clear is any of the concerts was on bigger scale, not said what the charity was about). Regarding Slovenian Wikipedia, the criteria for music groups are not so strict as here so generally it is enough to release an album with a review in a magazine with some reputation (hm, no third party references in this article there...). So, if there are no improvements of the article in the time available, I suggest deletion. And checking group-related articles at sl: wiki, they need a heavy cleanup at least. --Tone 21:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
