Was tagged {{db-band}}, as a non-notable music group. I could find less than 100 hits on Google and none of them looked substantial. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:18, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It says it's a persian band. Maybe you could find more sources with persian script?--Ancient Anomaly (talk) 00:30, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

nevermind, it seems to be the persian word for January, so amount of hits is not useful. We need someone who speaks persian.--Ancient Anomaly (talk) 00:39, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I speak Persian, and I believe SPADA 2 (who expressed an opinion below) does as well. Neither of us could find anything. cab (talk) 03:31, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's right I speak Persian. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 17:46, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - I think that band is quite good, and so they deserve in every way of the article. Besides, there is more than 100 hits on google, there's just over 3,000. Know your facts! Mysteryman19 (talk) 00:34, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, I found out there was 100 hits, must have misread it. Oh well. Mysteryman19 (talk) 00:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable in America, where we do not as a general rule, converse in Persian written about in English. Perhaps it could be added to the Persian Wikipedia, but it doesn't belong here. Nineteen Nightmares (talk) 00:47, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Nineteen Nightmares[reply]
- This is not a valid deletion rationale. Wikipedia is not limited to American subjects. Attempts to modify the notability policy to require English sources have repeatedly failed. cab (talk) 03:29, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it fails WP:Music, no records at Allmusic, the label is unkonwn, if you check them at Cdbaby it seems self published, the article is written like an advertisment in some parts, no reliable sources for some important facts that the article claims. --SPADA 2 ♪♫ (talk) 04:57, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete They're based in Southern California, so I'd expect that if they had any coverage, it would be in English, not Persian. Nevertheless I tried searching in Persian as well and found nothing. As mentioned above it's impossible to directly search for their band name, and I can't find the full names of the members anywhere, but for example, querying on all the names of the songs on their first album plus their own band name gives nothing reliable (and nothing even relevant) [1]. cab (talk) 03:29, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
