Anekdoten[edit]

After searching the internet for more resources, I could not find any that would indicate this entity passing WP:MUSIC. The references and external links are equally unhelpful. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 16:47, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep allmusic has a bio with three reviews [1]. album articles point to other reviews (reliable sources? progarchives.com is not). bands page lists reviews and interviews, but unfortunately does not give issue numbers and dates. Duffbeerforme (talk) 02:18, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Where do you see three reviews?? I only see one, e.g. the biography. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 13:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Short album reviews, [2] [3] [4] Duffbeerforme (talk) 06:41, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok the article is bad now since all the deletions. No one even dare to make any additions to this page since it constantly been a subject for deleting. Come on guys this is a well known band. In my opinion it is VERY hard to understand what is needed and what references are needed. Is this a link that could be used as a reference.[5] or [6]

I mean there is tons of reviews and articles about Anekdoten on the web but nothing seems to be proper. Please let me know what is needed! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramyth1 (talk • contribs) 23:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Those both appear to be from a music label, so no, those don't really establish notability. I'm having a hard time finding anything, but I don't know Swedish, which makes it difficult. Have they ever charted on the Swedish equivalent of the Billboard charts? Are they signed to KScope now (those links suggest it, but Anekdoten doesn't appear on their list of signed artists)? — Gwalla | Talk 23:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - band has a full 3rd party biography written for Allmusic.com. That is enough to meet the minimum criteria for notability. If Allmusic has a full bio, then you can be certain that the band has received independent 3rd party coverge elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Untick (talk • contribs) 03:15, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Anekdoten has signed to Kscope recently. I don't think Kscope home of Porcupine Tree, No-Man & Richard Barbieri would release an Anthology with the band if they weren't a notable band. They have toured worldwide on many occasions as well. If you search Anekdoten on google they get 20 000 hits.

I made an interview with Niklas Barker back in 2004 and you can read it at the following url: http://www.rockprog.com/Rock/specials.htm, select Anekdoten. There is also several concert reviews spanning from 2003 up to 2007 at http://www.rockprog.com/Rock/news.htm. We have also made album reviews regardnig the albums Vemod(release 1993), Nucleus( 1995), Gravity(2003) and A Time Of Day(2007). select Progressive Rock at http://www.rockprog.com/Rock/rock.htm. You can also se pictures from several concerts with Anekdoten at http://www.rockprogpics.com, for example: http://www.rockprogpics.com/Media.aspx?AlbumID=141 Regards Claes Hassel at www.rockprog.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.182.24.235 (talk) 18:05, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep I think the Allmusic bio and the CD reviews by Allmusic (here) indicate sufficient notability. Hekerui (talk) 12:07, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep All music bio should be enough. There is more reviews here http://www.organart.demon.co.uk/ wich is one of the bigger underground mags in London. And here on Julian Copes Head Heritage http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/review/1968. I see they also performs with Faust in Oslo in April. http://www.rockefeller.no/rf180409.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunra123 (talk • contribs) 05:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
