[edit] Liar (band)

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

Fails WP:MUSIC. Google search for Liar +metalcore +band shows no hits except the article itself. "Record label" is apparently run by the band themselves... Bullzeye ^{(Ring for Service)} 15:12, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. No verifiable claim to notability. -- Mikeblas 15:36, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Not close to notability. MarkBul 16:29, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Definitely a non-notable band. Although I was entertained by the line, "Liar has a mission and cannot be stopped; the band is a weapon and a statement." At least the editor took an unbiased approach to the subject matter. --Cyrus Andiron 16:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete -- can't find any references in mainstream reliable sources, therefore fails to meet WP:MUSIC criteria. -- The Anome 18:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:MUSIC and the notability is not asserted and there are no sources.JForget 00:17, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. Although I would like to point out that some labels run by bands can become very successful :-). Seraphim ^Whipp 21:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Although I've been unable to find good references (as I said on the talk page this is because of my relative unfamiliarity with the subject, the most influential part of their career being before such widespread 'net use and my inability to read any language other than English) the band are notable, just notable in a very underground genre and with a generic name that hampers research. For the record, I'm pretty certain GSR has nothing to do with Liar aside from releasing their records, they're based in the Netherlands and Liar are from Belgium. In any case the band's most well-known and influential material was on Genet and Goodlife, probably the two largest European hardcore labels. An archipelgo 18:49, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
