This article has no sources. It has no assertion of notability. There could be thousand of such bands, no of which should be on Wiki. Yes, they may exist, but that does not mean they should be on Wiki. Tried a speedy already, but have committed to a full afd under the recommendation of admins.

- Comment. This one fooled me, since Wizzard were a very well-known band in 70s Britain. If kept, thbis will need to be moved to another name (e.g., Wizzard (Finnish band)). If the consensus is delete, the title should be used as a redirect to the British band. Grutness...wha? 00:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete As pointed out the namespace is incorrect, but i think it will be irrelevant as i can't find much evidence of them having existed. --neonwhite user page talk 01:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep WP:MUSIC suggests notability can be established by membership (Tero Kinnunen, Tapio Wilska , Sami Vänskä and members of Nightwish have been involved), releasing two or more albums with important indie labels (one was released by Spinefarm Records) or independent coverage (Encyclopaedia Metallum, The Metal Observer, Vampire Magazine). I'd say this was a borderline notable band based purely on what I could find on the web (which surely means there's more in print media). Sturm 17:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yes, some musical bands should be on Wiki. But remember, there are millions of bands, with only a fraction notable enough. This one is not. This is the main reason I listed it. So it is still delete for me. Btline (talk) 19:03, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
