[edit] Funkmasonry

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

Non-notable band. Although "their release was met with universal praise" is extreme hyperbole, another user considers it sufficient claim of notability to remove my db-band tag. So here we are. Corvus cornix 17:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. The praise wasn't quite universal, as Rolling Stone seems to have inexplicably overlooked this band. This forum post describes Funkmasonry as "my high school senior project CD," and it doesn't appear to have been reviewed in any nontrivial sources. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:58, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - zero indication of notability provided, either in the article or elsewhere. No reliable sources to show the band has had any publicity whatsoever. Fails WP:MUSIC. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:28, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Whether the assertion is sufficient to survive speedy or not, lack of verifiability eliminates its use to establish notability. I didn't find a WP:RS in the 31 distinct hits I scoured. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. i wish some users would exercise some common sense when considering what constitutes a claim to notability (per what Corvus C. was saying above). This fails notability and sourcing and is, as FisherQueen established, a high school project. tomasz. 13:52, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per others. Non-notable. Doctorfluffy 05:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
