[edit] The Illiad (band)

The_Illiad_(band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

This article fails WP:RS on multiple grounds. Appears to contain original research, and most of the information on this page is unverifiable. If the facts relayed in the article are indeed verifiable, then citations need to be provided; if reliable sources cannot be provided, then the band is not relevant enough to be on Wikipedia.

  • Comment: I'm truly dissapointed that someone felt the need to delete all my information and citations and add the pointless Influences section. This should be a case of vandalism and revision rather than deletion. Greatomega (talk) 06:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete: 62 total G-hits [1] for this non-notable garage band. Meets no elements of WP:MUSIC, no reliable sources proffered or extant. In light of Greatomega's complaint, I went back to his edit of a few days ago, and the "citations" he claims are nothing beyond the band's Myspace page and the (non-loading) website for the band's soi-disant record label, World IN Sound, which itself has a paltry number of G-hits and no reliable sources, and looks like a good candidate for AfD in its own right. At least one of this band's members is also up for AfD.  RGTraynor  14:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: Omega, this article is not being considered for deletion merely because it does not contain citations, it is because the band is not notable enough to appear on wikipedia. No reliable third-party information is to be found anywhere regarding this now-defunct band. Whether or not someone tampered with your page does not change the fact that this band does not belong on Wikipedia. I feel like a tourist (talk) 20:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 22:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: I just realised that there is also a Wiki article on this band's sole album, A Sad Day on Pluto, this must also be deleted as it contains only original, unverifiable, uncited research and obviously has as much notability (or less) than the band does.I feel like a tourist (talk) 18:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and others. Nothing indicates they meet WP:MUSIC. Pigman☿ 21:19, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
