[edit] Prostytutka
Claims of a hit record make this ineligable for speedy deletion (despite earlier deletion as such) but there is no verification of notability and I can find nothing to support the claim - this could even be a hoax article. Ros0709 (talk) 10:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete not notable according to Google Search/News. Atyndall93 | talk 13:45, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. The name means "little prostitute" and the article sounds like a hoax.--Berig (talk) 18:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

- Delete. "¿Viva Ukraine?" doesn't seem to exist, at least as a song by this band. Not only does that raise huge "hoax" flags, but it takes away their one source of notability, as without that they do not meet WP:MUSIC. Anturiaethwr 19:22, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete WP:MUSIC. Esradekan Gibb "Talk" 00:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Do Not Delete. I have seen this band in concert in several locations including porvo/orem, eastern washington, several locations across ukraine and the former soviet union, and most importantly khazakastan. All over khazakastan. Mscottchristensen (talk) 04:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Should have been speedy deleted. Dorftrottel (criticise) 08:05, April 21, 2008
- DO NOT DELETE I am doing what i can to gather my sources to prove this article's credibility. However, I do have a job, so it is taking longer than I initially thought. I didn't realize how serious wikipedia was about deleting articles it didn't deem worthy. I appreciate that quality control, but I beg that you give me a few days to gather my sources and prove that this is a great band that deserves to be on wikipedia. Since they are from Ukraine, it's hard to find credible information on them on the internet. I know that have a myspace page, and a few music blogs mention them, so that is a start, but I'm trying to find something more official. Patience would be greatly appreciated, and within a week, I should have plenty of evidence to have you keep "Prostytutka" up.--Rachael6 (talk) 14:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

- Unfortunately myspace and blogs are not reliable sources. If the band has had the hit tracks the article claims then it is notable and the article can be kept - but in that case it really shouldn't be hard to find some sources that are reliable that confirm it. As a starter, [1] has links to 13 Ukranian chart sites. Of course, the lack of any sources being found tends to suggest that there haven't actually been any hits at all, and in that case the band would appear to fail Wikipedia's notability criteria.

- Delete. Inventive hoax, but hoax. Sorry neighbors, the encyclopedia is not a toy. Sorry Wikipedians, you are being played. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eritain (talk • contribs) 05:57, 22 April 2008
- Шкода вам дівчатам, що ваш сусід і може перевіряти будь-які заяви про Українську поп-музику, і любить цілисність Википедії більше, ніж лубить такий гумор. (It's too bad for you girls that your neighbor both is able to check any claims about Ukrainian pop music and loves the integrity of Wikipedia more than he loves this kind of humor.) You can hate me later. Everyone else: There is a place for process on Wikipedia, but Prostytutka isn't it. eritain (talk) 03:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, barring sources are found to establish notability and that it is not a hoax. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 21:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete What's the Russian word for WP:HOAX? Wildthing61476 (talk) 21:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete unless someone finds evidence of the band's existence (and notability, but let's start with existence). Tuf-Kat (talk) 21:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete fast. Ostap 03:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. Possibly a hoax even. --Irpen 05:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy delete per WP:SNOW. Experienced, Ukrainian speaking editors say this is a hoax, new apparently single-purpose editors say keep... duck test say hoax, too :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
