Democratoz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Advertorially toned article about a band who may have valid potential claims of notability per WP:NMUSIC -- it's hard to definitively sift out from all the promotional bumf -- but is completely failing to properly source the accuracy of said claims: apart from one Q&A interview on a radio program syndicated to a whopping three whole low-power non-commercial community or campus radio stations located barely 50 miles apart from each other, the referencing here is otherwise parked entirely on YouTube videos. This is a pretty clear candidate for the WP:TNT treatment -- even if they can be properly demonstrated to pass NMUSIC criteria, the writing tone and referencing need to be so massively overhauled that rewriting the article from scratch would be preferable to retaining any trace of this version.

 * Delete. The band does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for notability. They have nice music though and they also help kids. Knox490 (talk) 23:27, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Shameless self-promotion by new SPA. Very poorly written, makes a mockery of WP:NPOV. No indication of passing WP:MUSIC and I don't see anything that helps it pass WP:GNG. Very poorly referenced. Overall a prime candidate for deletion, every point nom makes is valid & I fully agree. Rayman60 (talk) 00:05, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
