[edit] Sparky Deathcap

It seems to me that having an "official webpage" that's a MySpace profile is prima facie evidence of non-notability. I'm not an expert on musical groups, however, so I'm opening it up for discussion instead of using prod. Icarus 18:27, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Only GHit for his supposedly released album is on DeviantArt (similar to myspace as prima facie evidence of non-notability). His alleged record company's website [1] is an empty shell from Lycos Web Hosting with a "coming soon" note. Fan1967 18:34, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, much of the article seems to me to be trollish and/or unverifiable. Nowhere is his notability asserted or is it shown that he has attracted any significant audience. However I'd steer clear of making such assumptions about MySpace, as it is extremely common for popular bands to have MySpace profiles, and it's not unthinkable that a band could have one without having a web site proper.

Comment It's true that many popular acts have myspace pages. The red flag is when that's the only place they're listed. Fan1967 18:41, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I wrote the article - part of Sparky Deathcap's identity is his supposed recent death and ferral upbringing. He's had a significant following in the UK, but there have been no major releases yet. The nettlejam website is due to be finished in 2 weeks time. It's still under development.

  • Comment: If you're not trolling, now is your chance to present some evidence for your claims. Otherwise this article is original research at best and not allowed. GT 18:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment You would think someone with "a significant following" would generate more than 18 unique google hits (six on myspace): [2]. Fan1967 18:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom and also, as per MutePoint (although the other way) "no major releases" and "still under development" Tony Bruguier 18:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
