Counterfeit Holiday

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article is about a defunct group which only ever recorded one EP (which I am also nominating for deletion if this article goes). There is no evidence from the article that the band has any notability and my reading of WP:BAND does not suggest that it meets any of the criteria listed there. The closest is the unreferenced statement that its EP was issued "to much critical acclaim" (From who? Where? Why?) It should be noted that the article was created, and most of it written by an editor called Counterfeitholiday, whose sole contributions to Wikipedia, made over two days in September 2006 are to this article and to the band's EP Take Two and Call Us in the Morning . However, this is not within my area of expertise or knowledge - and I would not be confident of finding reliable sources - so I invite others to either attest to notability and oppose deletion or to find a lack of notability and delete.

 * Delete. I can't find any references to the band or the album anywhere except on the band's self-created web pages. All of the news refs that I'm finding have to do with counterfeit Christmas lights. The only source of notability seems to be the Emergenza Festival performance in 2007, which by itself doesn't seem like enough to convey notability.  Graymornings (talk) 22:19, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Even the status of the Emergenza link is dubious - the webpage invites you to "INSERT YOUR BAND INFO"!! E;sewhere, it says that "All groups, of any kind or origin, can participate", which hardly, to me, constitutes being "asked" to perform. Emeraude (talk) 11:06, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as not being covered in detail by multiple independent third party sources. If such sources are found and integrated into the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:47, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
