DB9D9

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article about a now-defunct band would need a major rewrite to address WP:TONE and WP:POV issues. Recently, a member of the band, has been mostly editing the article, including inserting external links to his personal Facebook page and deleting part of the original lead, leaving just "Eric Recourt was the driving force behind db9d9 [...]" at the beginning.

The citations are very non-precise. The only cited source that I could find online is short, subjective and looks like self-published -- not a useful source to build an article on. The last archived copy of industrialmusic.com from 2005 does not appear to say anything about DB9D9. "Dark Music Webzine" does not seem to exist any more and might be a self-published source too. Outburn Magazine's past issues can still be purchased online, but the citation doesn't say which issue it's from, and their website does not mention DB9D9. "San Diego Union Tribune" is now U-T San Diego, they have recent articles available online, but I could not find the blurb or DB9D9 using Google and their site search.

Given that this article is in such a state and good sources aren't easily accessible, I think it's unlikely it'll ever be fixed and thus I propose it for deletion. -- intgr [talk] 19:51, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. Spamtastic is solvable; spamtastic and unnotable per WP:GNG and WP:NBAND isn't. No significant coverage in reliable sources present themselves either in the article or in my searches. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 22:26, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability now or likely in the future--Mevagiss (talk) 21:13, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete without prejudice - I can't philosophically prove non-notability, but it would need demolition and rewriting. The discography suggests notability is possible, if those aren't actually self-releases - David Gerard (talk) 00:22, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
