Article does not assert any notability, and absolutely no third-party resources provided. No significant coverage found elsewhere. — Timneu22 · talk 12:38, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I feel it is relevant. After Forever were a significant band, and this is the lead singer's next band. I have no doubt the band's influence will increase, it seems odd to remove the article now. Their debut album just got released, so it follows their significance will now increase. Stoats (talk) 01:59, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  Wikipedia is not a crystal ball; why can't the article wait until the band is notable? — Timneu22 · talk 10:33, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Is the band not notable by proxy? It's the fulltime project of the singer of a previously very notable band? Also I see no reason why the number of edits I've made has any bearing on if this article is relavant or not. Stoats (talk) 00:57, 31 May 2010 (UTC

It's not uncommon in these debates for the comments of apparent single purpose accounts to be tagged as such. Sometimes there is off-site canvassing or abuse of mutiple accounts to "stack" votes. I'm not saying you are involved in any such things, but if we were to see a flood of SPAs it would tend to indicate one or the other of those things was happening.

keep: The structure of this AFD page is a bit confusing to me... anyway.... Well, I don't care much about this band and the issue but here's my two cents: yes, the band is still a minor one in terms of notability. However the singer is from a significant band. If I'm not mistaken, in regard to wikipedia's guidelines this fact should secure a certain notability for this band. On the other hand I must admit the lack of sources is a concern indeed. Is that so difficult to find reliable for this band?Alpha Ursae Minoris (talk) 21:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I recently wondered what, if anything, Floor Jansen had been doing since After Forever, and was interested to read this article. As the other users have pointed out, although ReVamp aren't big yet, there's every likelihood that interest will grow, especialy as they've just released theit first album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TelecasterDaveG (talk • contribs) 18:59, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of people have just released their first album. This doesn't make them notable. — Timneu22 · talk 19:24, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant guideline here is WP:BAND. This band is borderline at best, I think that considering there is almost no actual content, and the "keep" arguments so far boil down to assertions that this band should or will be notable the best solution is probably to merge this content into Floor Jansen and convert this page to a redirect.

Redirect per Beeblebrox. No content + No reliable sources + WP:CRYSTAL = No article. There may be speculation that this will become notable, but again, that is WP:CRYSTAL. If this does become notable (with 3rd party references) then the redirect can be converted back to an article. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 19:56, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are some GNews results. If anybody can read Norwegian, some of these could be reliable sources. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 20:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I ran a few through Google Translator, and they were all similar to the Blabbermouth reference in the article. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 20:11, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Floor Jansen until band meets a guideline in WP:BAND. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 20:07, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge - Despite being a fan of AF and liking the first Revamp album, I am in favor of waiting until this can become more that a stub, as of right now this article has little encyclopedic value as of yet, that is not covered elsewhere, in the Floor Jansen or After Forever articles.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete - not yet notable, its a redirect, nothing to merge at all as the content is already at Floor_Jansen. Off2riorob (talk) 01:52, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/redirect - This band does not appear to pass any of the WP:BAND criteria, and I couldn't find any sources to satisfy WP:GNG. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 02:24, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
