Unreliable sources and a bunch of exaggerated claims for this Greek band. They are not notable and with a few hundred streams on Spotify, this article looks like a clear advertisement. Delete please. Glucken123 (talk) 15:43, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - No evidence that WP:BEFORE was followed and good evidence that it probably wasn't as this was part of a mass-nomination of dozens of articles about Greek culture over the course of a hour. FOARP (talk) 15:56, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I agree with this one. The sources in the article aren't worth sh*t (excuse my language). Facebook, Youtube, Metal Archives and stuff are not reliable sources. I looked them up and couldn't find anything besides the unreliable databases, streaming service links, social media pages and stuff where only the word is mentioned. I found some interviews and album reviews which could provide some notability as they cover the band, unfortunately, these sites look like blogs. Spotify stream numbers are not a count to notability though. And even though Glucken123 nominated so many pages about Greek bands/musicians today, which is crazy (I agree with FOARP about that), I agree with Glucken though that this band is not notable.

@GhostDestroyer100 Hmm... None of these articles are well sourced but I see this review from what appears to be an RS, and this as well as well as this. This mass-nomination makes it hard to confirm which are and aren't WP:GNG passes though. FOARP (talk) 16:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I fear that there is an issue with FOARP as a result of the mass nomination. Highlighting a random Greek blog rockway.gr certainly does NOT mean notability! You have even previously attacked me for claiming that 0 Spotify listeners is not a reason to have a band removed from Wikipedia. This is really sad.

@Glucken123 - Please read Wikipedia:Disruptive editing. I think you may have been acting in good faith with you mass-nomination but you should understand that people who work on WP:AFD find it really unhelpful when articles are mass-nominated with no evidence that WP:BEFORE was followed. FOARP (talk) 16:53, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@FOARP: I have seen those and I am still not convinced. The first site has "music festival" in their name so it's not independent from the band and the latter two look like blogs. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:02, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rockway.gr appears to have an editorial team which suggests it would be a WP:NEWSORG pass. Same with MetalFan.nl. Not particularly bothered about this article either way other than the mass-nom. FOARP (talk) 17:59, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Despite concerns about mass nomination, this article has too much UGC, need more WP:RS. --Micky (talk) 01:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:56, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
