Reaper (band)[edit]

Non-notable musical group per WP:MUSIC Gary King (talk) 23:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This project is from the same musician who created NamNamBulu and Frozen Plasma, both of which have established Wiki articles. If anything, it's been the most successful thing he's done. The project's last release topped the DAC (German Alternative Chart), indicating it is a significant player in it's genre. They also supported both Combichrist and Suicide Commando on tour - both of these act are major draws in their own right. Jonnyeol (talk) 23:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It seems this band's second album is fairly popular (at least in-scene anyway); AMG has a profile of it and Amazon, Buy.com and Barnes & Noble all sell it. Not too good on ghits, but all things considered I'm willing to accept this as meeting WP:MUSIC if Jonnyeol agrees to prove it through the page.

I have added a link to prove the recent placing of the bands EP at the Top of the Deutsche_Alternative_Charts (the DAC site itself doesn't give the option to look at old charts, but there's plenty of evidence out there that the band made it to the top). Topping the DAC should fulfill WP:MUSIC. Jonnyeol (talk) 08:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per Jonnyeol. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 13:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
COMMENT TO Jonnyeol: Show the notability link within the article. As the article stands it is violation of WP:N, WP:BAND, and lacks any references or third party citations. Take what you have written here and transfer it to the article (with references, of course) before it gets deleted. We all have to understand that the author of an article bears burden of proof for notability and references, not the reader.
