Godiva (band)

(...and by implication Godiva (album) and the redirect at Call Me Under 666)

This is a follow up to Articles for deletion/Cryonic Temple, and is a pretty similar situation, but it gets complicated, so bear with me.

First, there's about two dozen notable things that share the name. So you end up with a search that looks something like this, until you narrow it down to basically nothing as far as news goes. If you switch to open web searches you get some apparent churnalism, passing mention, and very niche promotional interviews, with quaint plugs to remind you to check out their myspace page. And that's really the best of it in a search that pretty quickly wanders off into other topics.

None of the members appear to be independently notable. At first glance, it looks like they're sideways connected to other things that might be, but it's basically a giant almost entirely unreferenced walled garden, including their album, their label, their other label, and their producer.

It's possible that these are not actually overtly promotional, and just made by an over eager fan, but if a few of these go to the bin, probably looking toward a larger AfD at some point. Maybe there's something in German that I'm missing, but there's no article on de.wiki, so that doesn't make me hopeful. T J W talk   12:58, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
