Non-notable band GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:01, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A Japanese metal band. (Fun fact: they sing in Japanese despite their English name.) The article's notability has been questioned since April 2013. The band also does not have an article on the Japanese Wikipedia either. The sources in the article include Discogs, which is known to be an unreliable source since it can be edited by anyone, their official site, which is not independent from them, a video site, a Twitter page, and a festival site. None of these indicate any notability. I find it kinda weird that a band that was founded in 2007 does not have any reliable sources. They have two studio albums and some other releases but I just couldn't find anything about ICDD. I did a quick Google search and the things I found were: databases (the usual stuff like Metal Archives, Discogs, Spirit of Metal etc.), Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud pages, YouTube videos, and some sites that mirror Wikipedia. Therefore, I think this band is not notable for this encyclopedia. Prove me wrong, but I did not found anything that indicates notability.

Delete - Note that a search for a Japanese band should also be conducted with the Japanese versions of their name: "インペリアルサーカス・デッド・デカダンス" or "Inperiaru Saakasu Deddo Dekadansu", which leads to some results in Japanese. But with that being said, even those appear to be basic retail/streaming entries, plus some more directory entries of the type noticed by the nominator. It appears that this band has not received any reliable and significant media coverage in their language or any other. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:51, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
