[edit] Ian Hart-Stein and Adeji Abeyowa

This is a hoax concerning two supposed members of Brand X, created by a vandal, Kenwood_3000 (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log), who introduced huge amounts of false information into Brand X and related articles. This has the official line-up of Brand X, neither of these two are on it. (It also contains the actual tracklistings of the albums for anyone who doubts that edits like this are complete bollocks). There is a website that mentions these people, but it is not official and may have been created by the hoaxer. Regardless, it is not a reliable source. Initially prodded, the vandal removed the tag, I rolled him back when rolling back a whole spree of edits, but vandal or not, PROD was removed and this has to go through AfD now. Delete both. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 22:10, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete both. All Music Guide has verifiable information on Brand X, including a brief history that mentions Brand X's formation by John Goodsall and Phil Collins, with Robin Lumley and Percy Jones. Indeed, Goodsall and Jones have been on just about all of the subsequent albums continuing into the 1990s. --Elkman - ^(talk) 22:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Comment In the interests of full disclosure, I speedied a number of blatant hoax articles by this author, the list of which can be found here. Being a hoax may not be a speedy criterion, but if that bothers anyone, don't think of it as speedy deletion, think of it as admin rollback. I only held off on these two because they had a single Google hit, even if it clearly doesn't overrule the official site. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 22:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
