Fails WP:MUSICBIO since they have not had a charting single or album. I admit it is difficult to judge because ghits are imprecise in this case. If some one can show they pass then OK, but I could not. Triwbe (talk) 11:53, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment for administrator - If this article is deleted, the article for their album Journey of The Shaman should be speedy deleted by rule. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:54, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails every criterion offered at WP:BAND. Delete this article to destroy its history, then remake it into the redirect to Nemrut that it was at first. Binksternet (talk) 18:16, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The band member is correct that Nemrut is not a proper redirect. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:50, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Agree with Binksternet. Fails WP:BAND. Fails WP:NOTABLE. As someone from the actual band appears to be participating in this discussion, perhaps they would like to read both WP:BAND & WP:NOTABLE and explain why this article is legitimate instead being a case of Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Self-promotion.

• Delete - In response to the statements from the band member above below, unfortunately Wikipedia is based on notability and that requires being noticed and covered by outside sources. Until that happens, you will have to promote the band elsewhere because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. You may qualify for an encyclopedia article in the future, but you are not there yet. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Note:To Whom It May Concern;

This is Mert Gocay, the founder and the leading member of the Turkish music group Nemrud. I would like to respond to the discussion on the possible deletion of Nemrud's page (which had been prepared by a devoted fan of the Group) from Wikipedia.

Nemrud is a Turkish progressive rock band which made its first album very recently in 2010 under Lirik muzik label.Nemrud has gone beyond the Turkish standard rock or popular line-chorus structure songs and pushed the technical and composition limits of rock music. In a few weeks Journey of the shaman sold out in Turkey; following the domestic success, world wide well known progressive rock label Musea Records approached the band and released the album in December 2010.

Please kindly note that the band actually exists (contrary to the comments published on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nemrud), and the Group is currently preparing for a few concerts (as well as their second album). More info about our group can be found at the following websites:

- myspace/nemrudmusic - musea records.com - nemrudband.com

here are some evidences of album selling websites: - itunes http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/journey-of-the-shaman/id405196378 -amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Journey-Shaman-Nemrud/dp/B004GAISKO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1294324234&sr=8-2 - cduniverse http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8432230

To my understanding there has been a misunderstanding (or a false connection) between the historical/touristic region/place Nemrut in Turkey with the name of our Group. The name of our Group is inspired from Nemrut, however, there should be no direct connection between Nemrud and Nemrut in Wikipedia. I would hence like yourselves to confirm that Nemrud's page should be staying on Wikipedia on the back of the above reasons.

Thank you. Kind regards,
