Army of One (Kuwaiti Band)[edit]

Non-notable hip-hop band. Text is biased and the article is promotional. Does not meet the criteria in WP:BAND. I found no sources in which the band was the subject. I am also nominating the following related pages: Anas ^talk? 11:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. If Alien Records is notable (which I don't think it is), then weak keep - they've released two albums, but is the record label notable? If not, they don't pass that criterion of WP:MUSIC.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 12:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I put an AfD template on the co-nominated article to avoid out of process deletion. MartinDK 12:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh yes, thank you. I must've forgotten to do so. —Anas ^talk? 14:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete reads as advert, non-notable as Alien Records has just two signed acts - one of which consists of the characters in question (http://www.alien-records.com/sec_artists.php). Bigdaddy1981 02:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There has been a not-insignificant amount of contribution to this article. I had never heard of this band but perhaps it is well known in other regions. AGREED, it does read like a promotion. Perhaps a revert to and older revision (merging important changes) would work. From WP:BAND "...failure to meet any of these criteria [notability] does not mean an article must be deleted". I don't think we're qualified to judge notability of a band based in Kuwait. Any comment from the article's original author, Yafei? Tvh2k 20:30, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:BAND (noting comment by Tvh2k above) and the entire first section is a copyright violation from [[1]]. Euryalus 05:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
