[edit] Cypher (band)

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

Fails to meet Wikipedia:Notability (music), possible self-promotion. The band formed in 2002 and only has one full release. If this band is entitled to a Wikipedia entry there are over 5,000 other metal bands that would need an article as well. (not an exaggeration, see metal-archives.com) -RiverHockey 22:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

• delete - at present there are no independent sources and the article doesn't seem to have any proof of notability. Also, per RiverHockey's last comment. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 23:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
• keep but needs more info and sources. This band did international tours, have been reviewed by dozens of Dutch, German and UK magazines.[1] I will work on it. Kameejl ^(Talk) 23:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, please do. I don't like deleting articles on European bands, but I prefer that such articles have better content and sourcing so that it's easier to tell the obvious spam apart from proper band articles. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:26, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - fails to show notability. This link quoted above appears to give no evidence of touring, and the album reviews appear to be by non-notable sources - music blogs mostly. The article as it stands now doesn't show good enough reason for being on Wiki, and that is the article we are discussing. But there is nothing stopping anyone from writing the article up again after it has been deleted, if someone discovers better sources. SilkTork *SilkyTalk 00:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
