Iron Maiden (blues rock band)

not notableBand seems un-notable. They released one single and then an album 30 years after they split (and from the sounds of the release self released). They only seem notable for two things their name (really a foot not to Iron Maiden and the fact they released a single (thier only one) with the same name as a mick jagger film [Ned Kelly (1970 film)]]. So their notablitly seems to stem from accidental (and in truth unrelated) links to others. Even the record label went bust. There is a dearth of sources. All in all very poor.Slatersteven (talk) 19:57, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Completely fails WP:MUSICBIO. No evidence of significant coverage by reliable third party sources. No evidence of ever having charted. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:43, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I read this as "non-notable band seems un-notable" at first, which is funny, but also true. JBsupreme (talk) 20:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Almost notable because of their number of lineup changes, name changes and disasters. Reminds me a bit of that group in 'Soul Music', except that I assume they could play their instruments. Peridon (talk) 22:40, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable at all. BeastmasterGeneral 17:52, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Its been a week with no one leaping to its defence I propose we close this down.Slatersteven (talk) 15:57, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Save.I saw this band in the late 60s in The Marquee in Wardour St they were one of the first doom style bands before it became known as a style, songs of death & dark forces. And a number of the band have joined and left as members of other notable bands Eg Spirit of John Morgan, Zior, Steve Gibbons, Inner City Unit which included Nick Turner of Hawkwind. To delete this article would loss some resources to help in tracing band family trees. Their album was re-released on Audio Archives a label specialising in bands from the period and not self released (as I have a copy).

There is no mention of Doom style in the article they are listed as a blues rock band. Links to other bands does not make this one notable, they have to be notable in thier own right. Two Who is Audio Archives? I have searched for them and cannot find a referance (besides which it was not re-released, it was never released in the first place). Also as far as I can tell only Trevor Thoms played in any of those other bands. As such the only notable element of the band is him, so this (at best) should be merged with his page. Found a referance to Skeels playing in a band called Bum before playing in zior (a Two album wonder). I assume this is the samed band.Slatersteven (talk) 20:14, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
