[edit] Classified (band)

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

Non notable band, seems to be too much claim of notability for a speedy. Google throws up nothing, but Googling is difficult due to the super-generic name, even when I try related keywords, such as the band's hometown. Prod removed by author with the comment "I have deleted the 'this article may be deleted' content as I do not believe that this article should be deleted. Classified have dveloped a large following through its myspace webpage." Article also seems to be slightly biased in favour of the band, possibly written by a band member, or a friend.J Milburn (talk) 22:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete The band fails the WP:MUSIC guidelines. I can't find any coverage of them in reliable sources and they apparently played their first live gig just a week ago. Good luck to them though, maybe they will become notable enough for an article in the future. Bláthnaid 23:05, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - not notable enough for an article yet per notability guidelines. If they are indeed "Music's greatest secret..." then they may warrant an article one day, but not yet. --BelovedFreak 23:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - no reliable sources. The band only really formed in Feb 2007 according the article. And also according to the article played their first live gig on Dec 26. So I doubt any reliable sources would be findable. As written, the page is more of a fan site than an encyclopedia article. -- Whpq (talk) 17:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
