Created with the description "meets criteria 1, 5" - presumably a reference to WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles. (1) "It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable". The published references are (a) "Resistance Magazine", which appears to be a non-notable blog - the best ref I can find is http://resistancemagazine.blogspot.com/, and (b) a userpage on tripod. Neither seem to come anywhere near the required standard. (5) "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels". The "releases" section of the article shows demos and limited releases; those that are not so indicated appear to have been limited to 100 or fewer copies. Delete as non-notable.

Keep (1a) Resistance Records is the notable publisher for their magazine Resistance Urho was also interviewed by Wotansvolk who has a strong presence in the black metal scene on and off line.
Delete The Tripod site is not a reliable source, nor is the blog. The albums were limited releases on an apparently non-notable label, so I have no reason to believe they meet any criterion of WP:MUSIC.

Comment Sources have been updated; labels after releases were added
Delete for failing criteria for MUSIC notability, and quite spectacularly failing it. DreamGuy (talk) 19:52, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet critereon 1, nor critereon 5 of WP:MUSIC. No non-trivial, independant, reliable sources and label "Desastrious Records" does not even have a page, let alone it being notable (in fact it spells "Disastrous" wrong). Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 21:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Desastrious Records is notable in the black metal scene (whose main site is unfortunately down at the moment). And yes, that is how they spell it. But here are some other sites that reference them: Geocities, Discogs, Crionic Mind posting in regards to Desastrious hosted black metal festival in Dallas, TX, Spirit of metal.

None of those are reliable sources. And please sign your posts. Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 18:00, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sorry, but the coverage and releases are insufficient to keep.--Michig (talk) 07:41, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
