The result was Speedy delete as an obvious hoax This is clearly a hoax - in addition to duffbeerforme's analysis, there's no mentions of the band at all in the archives of Canberra's street music publication BMA, and the article was full of nonsense claims. I've also deleted the articles about individual members of the band (one of which had been deleted before on several occasions) and blocked the editor responsible for them.

Burkenburg

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Part exageration, part haox, part not notable cruft. Sources are primary, unrelated or fake. No such Canberra Times ref. No Heinz Havemeister: Burkenburg and its history. Made up quote from Herald Sun. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:40, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
 * See also Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Burkenburg and it's recreation here with a different fake quote. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:46, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Stjohnny (talk) 10:37, 19 September 2013 (UTC)I do believe you should back up your so called evidence before actually posting this. It does say reliable references, yes? I would actually like to see proof of such crap you have stated here. And being a Canberran myself it would be extremely obvious these people in this band are very recognised. You will need more evidence in order to actually make a difference, but your stupidity is probably superior than your argument.
 * Re: Canberra Times: Searching in a database of newspapers that includes Canberra Times I was unable to find any mention of Burkenburg. Searching for the title "A multicultural band now in the music industry?" also came up empty. It's also an unlikely title for an article about this little band. BELLA, a four-year-old, short-haired domestic cat got more coverage in that weeks papers. She loves face scratches and pats, but wont ask for them constantly.
 * Re Havemeister: Using the ISBN from the article and going to worldcat gives us Feeling B : Punk im Osten ; mix mir einen Drink ; ausfu¨hrliche Gespra¨che mit Flake, Paul Landers und vielen anderen
 * Publisher: Berlin : Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf, 2003. Not Burkenburg and its history, 2013
 * The is a 2013 book by Havemeister but it's Wir wollen immer artig sein: Punk, New Wave, HipHop und Independent-Szene in der DDR 1980-1990 by Ronald Galenza and Heinz Havemeister (1 Sep 2013) not Not Burkenburg and its history
 * Re Sunday Herald Sun: Whats the actual quote from the paper? "German is an angry language." or "German is a powerful language." ? Did the paper go back and change their newspaper or is someone faking quotes? Why so vague in the ref, no date, no title, no author, just the paper. Searching google for Burkenberg and Sunday Herald Sun comes up with empty. Searching the Herald Suns site comes up with no results.
 * Face it kid. You're a liar and you've been caught out. You're feeble personal attack doesn't change that. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:33, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
