Anti-System

This article originally had a db-bio speedy tag attached; I placed a hangon tag and attempted to assert notability. I think I've succeeded, but would like the community to judge. My vote is Keep Merge with Antisystem. Colonel Tom 03:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

• Note: Antisystem already exists. With this said, weak delete. I am basing this on WP:BAND. In particular -- "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." Now, I am no expert in punk labels. Pax Records or Reconcile could very well be notable, but I can't find much on them, either on the web in general or on Wikipedia. -- Irixman ^{(t) (m)} 03:33, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I couldn't find enough to convince me that the labels above match notability either - I am undecided re this section of wp:band. My keep is more based on the one essay I found suggesting that the author believes thay were a notable 'Crust' band. I'm not sure that others would agree that this constitutes notability, so here we are... If this is kept, a merge would seem to be appropriate with Antisystem - I've changed my suggestion above.
    • Comment After some consideration, I am withdrawing my weak delete and just leaving my comment. Merge would definately be needed. I don't know enough about the genre, labels, groups, etc... to decide on notability. -- Irixman ^{(t) (m)} 04:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - If no one can tell if they are notable, they aren't. If kept then merge. jbolden1517^Talk 05:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Both articles, both fail to establish notabilityYdam 08:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with existing article which needs expansion. (The spelling/hyphenation is also variable so it might be a useful redirect.) (They were a significant band, but they exemplify the sort of band that causes most difficulty with WP:MUSIC. They have an allmusic entry (discography) [1]. I'll have a dig around for sources. - Politepunk 08:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Just about notable - allmusic listing, one track on Anti-War: Anarcho Punk Vol.1, listed on Amazon, label Red Rhino notable for releasing Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Tackhead etc. Merge with Antisystem and redirect. TheMadBaron 08:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the two articles under whatever name is valid - in the referenced article they're called "Anti System". That makes 3 variants. Worth keeping this little bit of punk history.Tyrenius 17:08, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
