The Handshake Murders

Fails notability guidelines. I looked for online sources for the band but found no RSes. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This band and their music clearly pass general notability guidelines, for it's reviews for Usurper, from About.com's Chad Bowar, AllMusic, Exclaim!, Outburn issue 38, and Prefix Magazine, where this settles and satisfies the No. 1 benchmark set forth by band, also, a biography written by AllMusic's Eduardo Rivadavia.The Cross Bearer (talk) 04:57, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure I agree. I did specifically search on AllMusic and found nothing. Thanks for finding that. If anyone else agrees, I'll revoke my nomination. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:16, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I will advise you to use Google next-time, for this search is how I unearthed the information.The Cross Bearer (talk) 06:01, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - I did that as well. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:06, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Just making sure, you know how to find information fast(er).The Cross Bearer (talk) 06:48, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now (and draft/userfy, although I'm not sure if this group would reform again) as my searches weren't as fruitful as The Cross Bearer's but even then I think there's not much so delete for now. SwisterTwister talk 05:14, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources that The Cross Bearer dug up establish that he meets the general notability guidelines. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)} ~ 19:45, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- He? This is a band, not a person. It leads me to believe you don't understand the content. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:31, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry, I meant to say the band. I do understand the content. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)} ~ 16:14, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks. We all make mistakes. At least now supporting the poor sources is the only one you have left to recant. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:32, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the coverage in Allmusic, Exclaim, and Blabbermouth.net. [1] [2] This seems to be enough coverage to meet WP:BAND. Everymorning (talk) 18:38, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
