- Delete. Although I found this and this, neither of those sites seem discriminating in what they include. There don't appear to be any independent sources, so not-notable. Trebor 21:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Official Swedish music chart page has no search results thus notability couldn't be verified [1]. Lajbi Holla @ me 22:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- None of the qualify as independent or reliable unfortunately. The official website and myspace are obviously not independent, and link no.3 isn't working for me. The other site, from a brief perusal , appears to accept submissions from anyone and has only a cursory method of approval (it also says that the band are unsigned, which doesn't augur well). Most people will require better sources in order to !vote keep. Trebor 23:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Metal-archives.com has a very hard criteria for bands, they check if the band exists, has records released and if it is metal. It is more than a reliable source, being the metal site with the biggest archive is notable to be mentioned. Anyway here you have more sources of this well-known band:

- Sorry, but none of these links qualify as a reliable source. Merely being a band in existence with records selling does not indicate notability. These sources are either not independent or contain trivial mentions of them, so at present, there is still a lack of sourcing. Trebor 20:44, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- If all those sources are not reliable, then 80% of wikipedia underground/not very popular music banda's articles should be deleted... --Dexter prog 22:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- If you see other articles for which sources meeting WP:RS can't be found, feel free to prod them or bring them to AfD. ShadowHalo 10:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- As he said, Wikipedia cannot always be consistent in its coverage, but existence of another similar article is not a reason to keep (see here). Trebor 16:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
