Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rose Funeral
Just claiming this band "fails notability" per  without actually reading the criterion is simply stupid. Rose Funeral at the very least passes criteria 1, 4 and maybe 5. Possibly others. I'd like to explain criteria 5, Metal Blade Records has a long history and has signed countless notable bands. Rose Funeral has two albums out (One on Metal Blade, one on Siege of Amida that apparently was re-released by Candlelight) and is about to release their third this year on Metal Blade. I know, that is a future event, but what is the point of deleting a band only to recreate the article later on? Also, Rose Funeral possibly also passes criteria 7. Do I need to mention the "UNO" incident? That has also certainly contributed coverage of this band in various news and magazine outlets
