OK, let's see what has happened here.

• This article was created in 2007 by Nothingagainst
• The Sputnikmusic website tells us that it was a side-project of the band Revelation, and went on to release a number of albums and EPs under the "Against Nature" name.
• Encyclopaedia Metallum tells us pretty much the same

Given this article's long existence on en.wp, perhaps an articles for deletion discussion might be preferable to outright speedy deletion? Please do note that I am not suggesting Sputnikmusic and Encyclopaedia Metallum are reliable sources, but they possibly hint at some possibility of a "keep" or "redirect" outcome here. That said, my !vote is: fails WP:GNG, WP:BAND and any number of other policies and guidelines. Let's see what happens. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:32, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: I'd suggest to merge this article with that of Revelation, but 1) that article already mentions Against Nature 2) the Revelation article is also unsourced, and 3) "Revelation" is a terrible term to search for because it's not generic. Leaning delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cortador (talk • contribs) 30 June 2024 (UTC)
• Merge to Revelation (band). This is an odd story, as it looks like Revelation temporarily changed their name to Against Nature then changed it back, possibly due to contractual problems forcing them to self-release new material under a different name. This article's text about how Against Nature formed is largely taken from this uncited source: [1]. They soon relaunched Revelation, and Against Nature achieved little notability as a stand-alone act, so the whole temporary hiccup in their history can be described briefly at Revelation's article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:46, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
