- Live4Metal.com, for example, appears to be a dormant site, formerly run by one guy[5]. None of the four sites gives much info on editorial oversight or fact checking per Wikipedia:Verifiability#Questionable sources. I'm just trying to apply WP:RS and WP:V even-handedly: if that's not realistic for this subject, then please correct me. Thanks, MuffledThud (talk) 19:54, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Live4Metal.com has been an active site for many years, prior to its recent closure. Furthermore, it has been operated by a vast team of reviewers. I live in Sweden, and I've heard this band receiving radio airplay here, and I'm aware that they appear on national radio stations in Singapore as well. They were also scheduled for a US tour in 2008, with the TMT Metalfest at the Tioga Centre being one of the locations, though the tour was cancelled due to some line-up issues if I remember correctly. You must bear in mind that coverage for bands from Asia is usually rare in general, but I believe that they have done fairly-well in this regard. Please revert back to me if you require any more information. Thank you, Mithius Lord (talk) 23:42, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
