As Wikipedia has decided to let several minor musical acts like Preston Reed or End of You in it encyclopaedic embrace, I cannot see why Anubis Gate would not fill the criteria. They're internationally respected - although I do admit that probably not by such a wide audience as the Spice Girls or the likes - but I am very interested to know, how and where are you going to draw the line? Pop acts in Wiki only, mainstream for the masses? Or is the number of albums sold by the artist going to be the meter for measuring their value for Wikipedia?
I personally wouldn't buy a dictionary that includes only the most common words used in language. The same goes with Wiki, for sure. I'm always delighted to find some unusual information in it and I bet that I'm not the only one. At the moment the site is a valuable source of information because of its wide range of subjects. If you start being picky with your articles, you will at some stage become elitisthic and distance yourselves from the common people that the website was originally brought to life for.

Ok fine, I did read WP notability stuff and I can see that you marked Anubis Gate for deletion by error. If you had checked my sources - the band has released three albums with Locomotive Records, the last one was out in 2007. That should qualify them for Wiki by your own standards. Now, to be honest, I don't really care what you do with my article - they're just a Danish band I haven't even seen live - but I just could not resist a little provocation that you so kindly offered by placing the speedy del tag on the article. Have a notable day! :) Whineypaws (talk) 00:38, 18 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
