A previous AfD for this band was closed a few hours ago as "no consensus" because the nominator kept changing his/her mind and seems unfamiliar with the consensus process. The closing admin said No prejudice against speedy renomination so here it is. I voted to delete this band the first time, for the following reason. Despite a long career and many albums, it appears that significant and reliable coverage has eluded this band. They have a bare-bones listing at AllMusic but none of the albums have staff reviews. They get occasional unreliable blog reviews (e.g. [1], [2]) but even those are rare. Beyond that I can only find some basic retail listings, even when searching for the band's name in conjunction with the founding members' names. --- DOOMSDAYER520 ( TALK| CONTRIBS) 15:02, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Using their album Force of Gravity as an example, I found reviews in Metal.de and Rockhard.de. [3] [4] Then there are reviews I haven't checked in detail, but which should be examined for reliability: [5] [6] [7] [8] For the sake of discussion I will also list the more bloggy reviews, just to bury the argument that such reviews are occasional and rare: [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] This site, though, has reviews of every album but FoG :) Geschichte ( talk) 06:42, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
