[edit] Eluveitie

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

Band with no assertion of notability (WP:BAND). Commons:Eluveitie indicates that they have performed at festivals, and their website links to coverage by what would seem to be fringe websites and publications, so giving them the chance of an AfD instead of speedy deletion appears appropriate.

Also nominating their albums for lack of (inherited) notability:

Please explain how it "clearly fails" WP:BAND. --ZimZalaBim talk 23:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep on the band, who are apparently signed to Nuclear Blast Records, which seems to be a notable record label. As such, my suspicion is that there will be sources establishing the notability at least of the band, if not of their albums. I'll see what I can find, of course.

  • Keep meets the following criterion "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources." According to this, they've toured France, Germany, Slovenia, Belgium, Austria, Italy and the Netherlands. Furthermore, Nuclear Blast is not just notable, it's one of the biggest metal labels.

  • Keep, if they really are on Nuclear Blast then they are notable by default. Ours18 09:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, Nuclear Blast is a huge name in the metal world. The band has also recieved coverage on Rockdetector- [1] along with reviews on loads of ezines that are familiar to me (as in, I have used them as sources in other articles) here. I'm not even gonna bother linking to specific pages, the number of reliable sources on that Google search speak for themselves. -- J Milburn (talk) 17:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Óðinn, and per J Milburn. Zouavman Le Zouave 17:17, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as signed to Nuclear Blast label. --ZimZalaBim talk 23:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
