[edit] Neal Century

Neal Century (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

I honestly can't tell if this is an elaborate hoax or simply a very non-notable musician. I've already deleted the supposed record label, WP2R, as A7 and cannot find a single mention of any of the albums Neal Century supposedly released. I also failed to find any reference to the tours Century supposedly performed on. The article fails Wikipedia:Notability (music), is completely unreferenced, and the only mentions of a Neal Century or Maurice Yandiorio (birth name) are mirrors of this article. - auburnpilot talk 15:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I am also nominating the supposed band, which again I cannot find any sources for except for mirrors of the article. It's only claim to fame is the sale of 4000 e-tracks.

  • Note to closing admin As this AFD was getting ludicrously long and incoherent, I've collapsed all comments by single purpose accounts into collapse boxes. — iridescent 14:41, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete both articles per nom, non-notable under WP:N and WP:MUSIC. In his comments above, the articles' creator tells us that this is a project for the future, and I wish him well with it. If and when there is sufficient notability, that'll be the time to have these articles. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 17:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete and no sir, you have not respected Wikipedia policies at all. Please read the policies on verifiability, sourcing and notability for musicians or at least peruse the five pillars and stop YELLING IN ALL CAPS with lots of exclamation points!!!!!!! Beeblbrox (talk) 17:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Neal Century and the band simply do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia per WP:MUSIC and WP:N, i.e. they are not notable. Also the articles have no reliable sources (and I can find none), i.e. features in independent sources with a reputation for factchecking and accuracy, without which the content of the articles cannot be verified. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete them both - it's a cut above your usual Myspace rubbish, but it's still Myspace rubbish. Aside from anything else it's a copyvio given that it's cut-and-pasted from the Myspace page. — iridescent 19:30, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete vain vanity in vain, and idiocy from sockpuppets. JuJube (talk) 20:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete neither article meets notability criteria. Can someone clean this afd up a bit? --neonwhite user page talk 21:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete both, for all the above reasons.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 23:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
  • As the article's subject has apparently made several legal threats, and claims to have been in contact with the foundation, I wouldn't suggest closing this early. Let's give it the full five days. - auburnpilot talk 16:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
