Mistress (band)[edit]

Does not seem like a very notable group; all the external links provided are either from Yahoo! GeoCities or MySpace, and only three Wikipedia articles link here. In addition, only two authors have made any edits to the page, furthering my suspicions about the subject. Larry V (talk | contribs) 21:23, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

keep notable group (release 3 albums), Dave Hunt (but not the one linked) is reasonably notable for his work with Benediction (band) and Anaal Nathrakh. Spearhead 21:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While the band may be somewhat notable (two of its albums are listed on Amazon), the article itself is blatant POV, and at times quite laughable. While I'm sure the band and everything related to it is really "extreme" this fact probably shouldn't be expressed so many times. Additionally, sentences like "The band's clear talent..." and a complete lack of sources only add to the long list of reasons it should go. Weak Keep. Due to sources and some POV removal. tmopkisn ^tlka 00:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I made a few edits to make the article more NPOV. I left in the two uses of the word "extreme" because they were referring to the term Extreme music. They meet WP:MUSIC easily for touring all over the UK, having one album released and two more reissued by Earache Records, and having been featured in Kerrang, Metal Hammer, and Rock Sound. They also have a biography on allmusic [1], but ignore the chart and awards section, as it applies to different bands. --Joelmills 01:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I also removed all the myspace links except the band's, and added allmusic.com, which is a more reliable source. --Joelmills 01:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Joel. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I just did a little cleanup on the article myself, but I'm wondering what band called "Frost" is being referred to, with relation to Mick Kenney? Under Frost (disambiguation), there are three bands named "Frost." --Larry V (talk | contribs) 15:04, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another frost: this one Spearhead 16:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There're no reasons to delete it. If you think the article is not in NPOV, [Edit it] --Neo139 22:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Joelmills and Spearhead. Prolog 09:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep please! I wrote this article and whilst it may have been amateurish (my first effort), the band are well known enough to have all their full-length albums listed on Amazon. Also Spearhead has found the correct Frost, which I shall attempt to create a more professional page for in the near future. Thanks for the help! OrKid 14:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
