[edit] Andrew Skeen (band)

Andrew Skeen (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable band, of which the opening sentence is "Andrew Skeen was formed by five teenagers in early March 2007". Due to the length and the claimed notability I am bringing this article to Articles for Deletion rather than requesting a speedy delete. Sam Blacketer 10:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Have just discovered this is a vandalised version: Andrew Skeen is actually a notable Indian Army Officer who died in 1935. I have reverted to the correct version, can an admin please close this debate? Sam Blacketer 10:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC) Revived as the article now created elsewhere.

I am very sorry, I attmpted to change the real article about Andrew Skeen, but I promise you that there is a new band with this name as a title, it is just so recent that they have no reliable information on the internet to proove its whereabouts and existance, but I know it exists, so please give me a chance to find some reliable information, by the way, I hope this is the respective page, lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackjack114 (talk • contribs)

  • Not to sound imposing, but from the time of the AFD listing, you have five, maybe six days. In this time, you need to prove, through the use of several reliable, third party sources (such as books and newspaper articles), that the information in the article is correct. If this cannot be done, the article will be seen as not meeting the Wikipedia:Attribution core policy and the Wikipedia:Notability (music) nitability inclusion guideline, and will most likely be deleted. -- saberwyn 11:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • "no reliable information on the internet to proove its whereabouts and existance" - the article's own creator seems to have pretty succinctly put the case for this article to be deleted. "I promise you it exists" isn't exactly a reliable source.... ChrisTheDude 11:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment, could it not been tried the other way around: first find sources and then create an article? AlfPhotoman 14:57, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
    • That's a radical idea, it'll never catch on ;-) ChrisTheDude 15:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, bury at a crossroads at midnight, and sow the earth with salt. Some teenage garage band founded just this week, and already they have "former" members? And what's an "unofficial" band anyway? Violates WP:V, WP:MUSIC, WP:BIO and WP:BOLLOCKS, come to that. RGTraynor 19:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
