Name (band)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Can't see where the group passes WP:NBAND. Article was previously deleted via PROD. The name of the group makes Google searches difficult, as does the name of one of their albums ("Portrait"). Tried searching their second album (which had an article that was speedy deleted). Google returned mostly blogs and sources that would be questionable as RS's. GNews archives got a total of 2 returns, one announcement of the release and something in German(?). Can't find anything on them charting anywhere on Billboard or Allmusic. The article appears to be little more than a venue to promote their MySpace page. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:41, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I found some mentions of the band (by searching for "Internet Killed The Audio Star") on a couple of heavy metal blogs. Other than that, I found the CD being sold on Amazon, but big deal. So, unless some more notable references appear, I'd say delete.JoelWhy (talk) 13:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete, notability not established by reliable sources. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:01, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per the lack of reliable third-party sources; association with Lifeforce Records doesn't seem enough to satisfy WP:MUSIC 5. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ ^talk 09:58, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
