Attica (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

One of the many non-notable bands from the late 1980s to early 1990s punk rock scene in Aberdeen. Looking on Google Books gives nothing, nothing to meet WP:NMUSICIAN. Therapyisgood (talk) 00:16, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete The article reads as if it was WP:MADEUP one day, and the article's creator made this article in July 2006, before disappearing.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 06:38, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC due to the lack of multiple in-depth reliable sources about it. They don't even have an AllMusic profile and I couldn't find anything about if they ever released any albums. Most likely the article was created as an attempt at notability through inheritance because of the Nirvana drummer being connected to it. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just another NN band. Nothing to see here people, just move along. No evidence of notability (other than maybe the fact that the drummer of Nirvana used to play here). No sources presented. And the part about their "hit songs" is quite funny in my opinion since crossover thrash bands aren't known to produce hits. And if they would, they certainly wouldn't release them with titles like "Jon Bon Jovi Has AIDS". But even then, the sentence about their "hits" is unsourced just like the rest of the article. Creator has only edited this article and added links to the Lowestoft article before disappearing. I would not proclaim him to be a single-purpose account since his edit in the Lowestoft article saves him from that accusation, but he is close to one. It is also difficult to search for this band because of the simple name (searching with "Attica metal band" does not help either), most of the results are about another metal band called "Attica Rage" and the rest of the results are just the words "Attica", "metal" and "band" separately. No evidence of sources, let alone reliable sources whatsoever. How this article managed to stay here since 2006 is beyond me. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 12:36, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
