Chemical Reaction (artscene group)

No indication of notability, only primary source info. Basically a dozen people who hang out on EFnet and occasionally make ascii art. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 00:01, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No sources found for this group after a relatively exhaustive search, therefore notability cannot be established. In a previous AfD, the creator of the article asserted that the group was in fact notable, but reliable sources would be hard to come by because this art form happened exclusively outside the coverage of the mainstream media. If these artists took such great pains to keep their work out of the mainstream media, then I doubt they would want to see a WP article about themselves. WP's definition of notability requires independent, third-party, verifiable references. If something took place on Earth that did not get covered by such a source, then it is not notable by WP's definition, and does not deserve an article. If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound? SnottyWong talk 00:29, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
