[edit] White thunder

No sources or links for this band. The information may appear to be false. Peter O. (Talk) 01:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as a {{hoax}} about a non-notable band. Strawberry picking contest indeed. (aeropagitica) 02:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• KeepThis article is NOT false. The death of a former band member was from a bar fight and it is not certain what the fight originated from. The two rivaled each other in every sense and the murder was not just over a strawberry picking contest. Death is nothing to joke around with and we would not do such a thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mystery dragon (talk • contribs)
• Delete — Delete as a hoax, and even if it wasn't one, it'd be non-notable. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 03:17, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not so much as a hoax, but as pure teenage-boy silliness. Band, please check out the guideline: Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. After reviewing the myspace page, maybe preteen silliness? Hard to tell. Darkspots 03:23, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I take back my accusation of "preteen silliness." That was churlish, and I apologize. I stand by the rest of my comment, in light of the photographs of extremely thin young men on the band's myspace page. Darkspots 05:13, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Keep White Thunder is not a story made up in school one day. If this band was imaginary how would we have recorded songs? White Thunder is a real band, and a real story. The history of the band is quite interesting and the band is fairly well-known regionaly. This is an example of racism toward hispanics and death metal in general.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mystery dragon (talk • contribs)

• Keep So because they are "extremly thin" means they can not participate in legitimate bands? I will admit I can understand why you may be concerned abou the seriousness of the band, the bands age has gotten younder considerably, avereage age being 16. The band has also taken a less serious route to music, but how does that exempt them from being a legit artist? Ever hear of Tenacious D? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mystery dragon (talk • contribs)
• Comment you can only give one keep, delete, etc vote in any one discussion. You can change your mind, though. (aeropagitica) 10:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Unverified original research. Almost certainly made up in school one day. The band's been around since 1988, but the average age of its members is 16... interesting. The single worst attempt at sock puppetry ever (above), hasn't really helped. -- IslaySolomon | talk 06:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete - and note that the only Keep votes are from the creator of the article! Not even a creative WP:SOCK; also fits categories of WP:NFT, WP:V and WP:NFT
• Delete - It might be real, but that doesn't make it notable. Also note that it is impossible to be racist toward death metal, because death metal is not a race. --Wooty  Woot? | contribs 07:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out--I don't feel particularly racist about anyone or anything. I'm definitely not racist about death metal. Darkspots 12:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable teen band (if it even exists). Block user for amazingly incompetent sockpuppetry. --Charlene 08:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Burn, burn with fire, lots of it. Delete, obviously. Moreschi 09:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete AMG's got nothing, and AMG has listings for bands so obscure that their mothers have barely heard of them! But don't block the user. Single-account "sock-puppetry" deserves an appropriate punishment—limit him to one account from now on. :) Xtifr _tälk 10:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. Given Mystery dragon's comments above it may be a violation of WP:AUTO as well. Hut 8.5 18:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete because I'm racist towards bea- I mean Latinos. Danny Lilithborne 23:31, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. And I would remind the author that a false accusation of racism is racist in itself. Resolute 02:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This could probably have been speedy-deleted, IMO. It's an obvious hoax - and even if we assumed that everything here was true, by the article's own terms this band fails WP:Band. --TheOtherBob 05:13, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Blatant hoax. Worst attempt at sockpuppetry and vote cheating EVER! MartinDK 12:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
