- Defective Epitaph (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Delete a slew of unsourced articles about albums by a barely notable band but with neither sourcing nor any indication of coverage in third party reliable sources for notability as we'd like to see per WP:MUSIC.
- I am also nominating:
- Nocturnal Poisoning (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- The Funeral of Being (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Telepathic with the Deceased (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- To Violate the Oblivious (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Subliminal Genocide (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

- Keep all. They're all now linked to at least one (in one case two, since there are two albums which were linked to AMG reviews before this process even began) third-party reviews, and I'm sure I can add more to any of these if needed. While the band isn't up for deletion, I'll just add that an act on an important indie label is generally going to be notable anyway. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- To the best of my ability to find out, I'd say so. Those reviews don't seem to have been submitted by any old net user (unlike, say Encyclopedia Metallum, which rates albums by averaging out user-submitted reviews). I'm only really on the periphery of the metal subculture, though, so feel free to prove me wrong and I'll hunt up more reviews like that one for "Defective Epitaph" itself.

- Weak keep. Look at WP:MUSIC, it is my feeling that these albums do qualify as notable. While I would not be totally opposed to a merge of them to the band's article, because there are six of them I think it is best to keep them as separate articles. SorryGuy 02:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
