226:- I have to go with deleting this one. The sources currently in those article look pretty shabby. Since when did we use MySpace as a means to prove notability? It doesn't appear that even a single member (current or past) is even notable. The band looks to be so "indie" that it hasn't even built a name for itself in the indie-music world. What I can find doing simple google searches doesn't turn up a lot of helpfulness either. Most of the information in the sources appears to be basic (Omen was a band...). It doesn't run very deep as far as notability was concerned, and I even found out that at least half a dozen other bands have used the name "Omen", and no word on whether this "Omen" is more famous than those. I'm not seeing a reason for this band to have a page if we cannot even determine if it's worthy of a page (and no, just releasing albums doesn't make one worthy).
396:. As the guideline states, "Knowledge (XXG) decisions are not made by popular vote, but rather through discussions by reasonable people working towards consensus." Please be careful when arguing that "coverage on Allmusic is sufficient to demonstrate notability"; just because a band is covered on Allmusic does not mean that it has released albums on major labels; major labels are what criterion #5 entails on
