[edit] Haruhiko Ash

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

Haruhiko Ash fails the notabilty test. He is a member of a barely notable (if that) band called Eve of Destiny and he seems to have made the acquaintance of various famous people in this genre of music - but that doesn't make him notable. Only one release not on a compliation disk and it was on a minor label. I couldn't find any information proving the notability of his earlier band, the Zolge, either. Jayran 16:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep I don't know who he is, but according to Google lots of people do and are very interested in him. He even has his own fanclub. http://ash.delirious-jellyfish.net/ Seems notable to me.MightyAtom 04:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Comment A google search of "Haruhiko Ash" OR "Ash Haruhiko" yields only 1,450, which is not a lot compared to over 500k for an obscure band like Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Also, from what I understand, google searches are not reliable for an AfD. Amazon Japan lists no CDs by his band; Oricon, the Japanese music charts, has no mention of them; I searched "Eve of Destiny" in the Japanese wikipedia and only got one hit - as a member of another band belongs to the group "Eve of Destiny" now, and I haven't found any actual reliable sources about him or his band. For having a supposedly big fanbase, there is no coverage of him or his band in the media. This article has been tagged for a year and there are still no sources. EDIT: I just searched that fanlisting and it only lists 26 members. Jayran 05:13, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect Technically, since Eve of Destiny is notable, that makes him notable. However, since the article stub is unreferenced (and has been tagged as such for over a year), I say redirect to Eve of Destiny. Precious Roy 08:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
