[edit] Sheiks of Sheba

Sheiks of Sheba (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Contested speedy. Non-notable band. The band is an independent band not signed by an established major label or well-known indie label. The sources provided are dubious at best, including one that is obviously a video interview conducted by the author of this article, [User:Goldwingedlion]], which itself violates original research policies. (The video is hosted on goldwingedlion.com.) Moreover, the CDfreedom listing (which is linkspam) is apparently a listing by "goldwingedlion" according to the URL. It appears that, given these circumstances and the apparent conflict of interest, that this article and the companion Giuseppe Cotteli are really spam that the author tried to pass off as a legitimate article. Even if there were no COI/spam issues, the band would still not meet WP:BAND. No charted songs, no signing by a major label or recognized indie label, nothing more than trivial independent coverage. It's gotta go. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 20:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
