Delirio (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  (band) Stats )

Non-notable band. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO, lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. — Za  wl  09:11, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Before AFDing in future I suggest you always check article histories. This article sadly was hijacked in 2011. It's a 1944 Argentine film, that was how it was created and has sources in books.♦ Dr. Blofeld  10:15, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Agreed but as of now, the article is about the band. The hijacking wasn't appropriate but the article was still an unreferenced one-sentence stub. — Za  wl  10:22, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hang on; I am separating these very disparate edit histories. bd2412  T 10:49, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * For now, I have split the edit histories, moved the band to Delirio (band), moved the film to Delirio (film), and moved the disambiguation page to Delirio. bd2412  T 10:55, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Can't find much more than that at present.♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:07, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I found one other mention, but it is weak. This is something that existed at some point, but I doubt it rose to the level of notability. bd2412  T 11:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

PS you've made an error in the deletion sorting - it should be California, not North Carolina. Richard3120 (talk) 12:13, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:BAND. I'm really struggling to find any coverage of this band after playing the local "Monterey Live" festival in 2009 - after this date their Facebook page has just four further posts (the last in 2012) and their Twitter feed just one. Article is the sole Wikipedia edit by "Edgarescobedo1978", which just happens to be the name and birth year of the band's lead singer. It doesn't help that the band name is so unoriginal (I've found bands named Delirio in Mexico, Argentina and Uruguay), but even if they're still active, they never appeared to have attained any notability outside of their local scene, and it's not clear whether they ever completed their debut album - recording began in 2009, but it was still ongoing by 2012 when their social media posts stopped. They're certainly nowhere near as well known as Maná or Los Enanitos Verdes, two extremely well known and successful Latin rock bands mentioned in the article text.

Delete Per nom and Richard, only found those two Monterey sources.♦ Dr. Blofeld  13:40, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
