Syrym

Non-notable subject fails WP:MUSIC criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. GripTheHusk (talk) 10:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Syrym District. The band itself fails to establsh notability per WP:MUSIC. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Dunno why the admin closed off the first AfD, it wasn't much of a discussion!!!!! Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 10:51, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was a non-admin closure by the nominator as they withdrew their nomination, hence the reason for it's very early closure. Dpmuk (talk) 11:35, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I see. Thanks. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 11:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak keep: appears to meet #6 at WP:BAND by having members who were in a (dubiously?) notable band Babylon A.D. (band). --JD554 (talk) 14:32, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

B.A.D.'s self-titled album charted at #88 on the Billboard Top 200 [1], so their notability is without question. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 00:47, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP:MUSIC, validation for a band or musician entry might include magazine articles. Syrym has been written about in PowerPlay Magazine, Fireworks Magazine, and Hardline Magazine (German publication), among others. I have physical copies of both the PowerPlay and Melodic Rock publications that I can scan if I need to provide proof. Also, why would you refer to Babylon A.D.'s notability as "dubious?" It seems they meet the WP:MUSIC criteria and, thus, the comment about their notability appears much more subjective (your personal opinion of the band or music) than objective (based in fact, and in keeping with the overall purpose of Wikipedia).

- As this AfD is about Syrym and not Babylon A.D. my comment was indeed meant to be subjective and tongue-in-cheek. --JD554 (talk) 07:10, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Understood. Thanks for the clarification. Please let me know what else I can provide to further establish the validity of the entry--physical magazine articles, music featured on television broadcasts, radio airplay, endorsements, online media coverage (articles, awards, interviews, reviews, etc.).

Merge to band Babylon A.D. (band). They don't appear to have done enough for their own article. Duffbeerforme (talk) 05:59, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Re-direct to Babylon A.D. and then fully prot the re-direct so that this doesn't happen anymore. The Real Libs-speak politely 12:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Syrym has been written about numerous times worldwide, both online and in print (PowerPlay Magazine, Fireworks Magazine, and Hardline Magazine, among others); receives radio airplay worldwide on a regular basis, including being featured on the playlists of Play Radio UK and ARfm (both in the U.K.), Activ'Radio (France), Hurricane Rock (Germany), 97 Underground and Amped FM's Rock and Hits stations (two of many in the U.S.), and Antenna2 Radio (Italy), among others; their music has been featured on a San Jose Sharks' television broadcast; and has appeared in several "best of" and "Top 20" album lists for 2008, including Best New Band of 2008 in the HardRockHideout Reader Awards, Artist of the Week on MelodicRock.com, Hair Metal Mansion included them in their Top 20 Albums of 2008, Steve Price showcased Syrym as his Album of the Week on ARfm's The Steve Price Show, HellSpawn.be writer Thierry listed them in his Top 20 - 2008, and they were listed in Heavy Harmonies' Best of 2008. All these references are verifiable and combine to make Syrym a notable band, worthy of inclusion. Jenxer (talk) 06:53, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
