The result was delete. This is not the strongest consensus but invoking WP:NOTAVOTE, I believe the weight of WP:PAG based argument comes down in favor of deletion.

Band that fails
WP:BAND. Sourced to Myspace mostly, and a Google search only brings up their social media page. ZXCVBNM (

Weak Keep - Note that this band was named both "War" and "Total War" at various points and that makes a search difficult, and the existence of multiple other bands also called War makes everything even more confusing. This WP article even mixes up the names in the header, infobox, and text. The band gained little
reliable media notice outside of their insular local scene. The previous voter made a case that they can barely satisfy a couple of band notability guidelines but I think that is relatively weak. They also got a smattering of notice for controversial lyrics, mentioned briefly in the book that is currently at footnote #3. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Keep passed
WP:BAND, points 5 and 6 indeed.

Just because you fulfill the criteria of
WP:BAND does not mean you pass. Without actual refs, it still fails
WP:BAND. No one has come forth with reliable references, so this is just
WP:SOURCESMUSTEXIST.ZXCVBNM (

Delete - they are mentioned in the book "Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult" but that is only one mention,
WP:BAND requires non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources - there are no charted albums or singles, no awards, etc., so does not meet notability guidelines -

Delete. Fails
WP:SIGCOV and therefore
WP:GNG. The sources cited are not reliable per wikipedia's standards for verifiability and therefore, the subject does not meet the criteria at
WP:BAND. Sources independent of the subject are needed to verify that content in order for the article to be kept.

Comment from previous voter - If my "weak keep" vote above is causing a lack of consensus, I would not be opposed to deletion just to help wrap this up without more re-listings. The "delete" votes have raised valid issues of their own. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (
