[edit] Amerikafka
Article does not attempt to establish notability; the article has WP:COI editor issues. Ref (chew)(do) 16:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

- Delete. Article cites no references, and does not assert notability for this red-link band other than that one of its members was once in the band Nosferatu, a somewhat successful group whose article states they have sold a combined 100,000 units. That's notable enough for that group, but not enough to be transitive through all its members. A Mick Jagger side project would automatically be notable by association, but that's not the case here. A conflict of interest also appears to be at work here. OlenWhitaker • talk to me or don't • ♣ ♥ ♠ ♦ 14:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC) 14:20, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

- Note - in fairness, the band Cureheads, whose debut album this is, are not actually a redlink band at this time. However, that article is prodded as non-notable and with conflict of interest issues. Ref (chew)(do) 15:00, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- If you'll read through the obtuse sentence construction, improper punctuation, and multiple interwoven parentheticals, you will see that the album is actually from the band The Hiram Key, a red-link. The Cureheads reference is saying that one of the members of Hiram Key was also a founding member of the Cureheads. It's very hard to tell all that because of the way it's written, but after a few read-throughs I'm pretty sure that's what it's trying to say.

- Delete. Couldn't find any independent verification for this. The name is shared with a play, which has a lot of GHits, but as far as I can tell this record goes completely unmentioned.Chris (talk) 16:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
