The only reference this band has had in the 15 years this article has been on WP is the Allmusic bio I added 11 years ago. After a look for more sources I couldn't find anything that could be described as significant coverage. The usual Metal fan sites and name dropping but little else.

Reluctant Delete - This one is a close call because they do have a valid AllMusic bio and have been covered (a little) at Blabbermouth ([1]). With two independently notable members they qualify for WP:NBAND #6 but I don't think they get sufficiently close to any of the other provisions in that policy. Note that there is a new incarnation of the group called Denner/Sherman ([2]) which also received a little coverage, but the band under discussion here comes just a little under the requirements. I recommend that their existence be introduced at Mercyful Fate and at the individual articles for notable members Michael Denner and Hank Shermann.---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:14, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there is an article for one of this band's albums, Force of Evil (album), which will have to be deleted under WP:A9 if the band's article doesn't survive. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Now that the members have been shown to be non-noatble, WP:MUSICBIO is no longer met. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:59, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
