5TA

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Ephemeral sourcing, verging on diaphanous. There is basically no material out there that would allow constructing a well-referenced article, even if notability concerns could be met. Either delete, or redirect to Michael Moran (music producer) or Nick Rhodes. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:13, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Deletion would be a reasonable course of action, but both of those redirects would be incorrect (and indeed what prompted me to create the article in the first place, to clean up Mike Moran. lordbrixton — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Brixton (talk • contribs) 00:53, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Lord Brixton is correct, a redirect is not possible because those articles are for an entirely different Mike Moran and Nick Rhodes. I was growing up in the UK during the 1980s, listening to the radio, buying music papers... and I've never heard of this band. This is not a case of "they had a lot of coverage at the time, but you'll have to look for back issues of the NME to find it"... they simply never had much media attention. I can find one article in teen pop magazine No. 1 and that's it. Richard3120 (talk) 23:46, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Doesn't pass WP:GARAGE, or WP:GNG. It only cites websites with discographies of the band (such as Discogs), passing mentions and one of the sources is literally a live performance.
