The length of the article, and manner with which it has been edited (see review summary for 3rd December, 13:40), suggests that either; the article is not actually notable, or the user who created the page is too directly linked to the subject.

I am more than fairly sure the world's first idol noise band, covered in British and American music press for how wildly unprecedented it is (issue 355 of The Wire has a full page about them), constitutes something notable. For example, I think it's worth noting that a noise album reached Japan's Oricon Top 40, where charting music is generally far more non-threatening.
Hijokaidan is one of the first noise bands in the world (and if Jojo Hiroshige is to be believed, the very first). BiS has broken through to the charts' top ten twice in a row now. The fact that idol culture is so far removed from the pissing, bleeding, visceral performances that Hijokaidan are famous for makes a collaboration like this certainly notable in the minds of anyone who is familiar with idols and noise, hence all the coverage.
Of course, to flat out say that in the article is not really the kind of writing that's suitable for an encyclopedia, obviously.
Instead of moving straight to hastily slating the page for deletion, it might be a better idea for you to state what the problems with it are - there was some vague mention that the sources cited didn't seem "reliable", but there is not a single site cited (try saying that three times fast) that's unreliable. It's short, but can of course be expanded - to me it seems more like a stub than something entirely unworthy of note. This is, after all, the same website with a List of fictional turtles.

Yes, you've caught me, I am actually a cute, entrail-chucking idol from Japan who edits foreign-language Wikipedia articles in her spare time.❤ Screaming coffee ( talk) 23:57, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
