Hanging Garden (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Fails WP:BAND. Found no significant coverage in a Google News search using the band name, the word "band", and the name of the founder (Michael Young). Hanging Garden is too common a term to search on. The article is unsourced, as are unrelated articles, e.g., Chaos Theory (Hanging Garden album). Bbb23 (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete If this band had indeed released an album on Capitol Records, toured the USA and Canada with Kreator, you would have thought that there would be at least something out there confirming it. Yet I can find nothing, not a review of an album or tour, there's nothing on Allmusic ... meanwhile, there does appear to be a metal band called the same thing from Finland  who with at least one album on Interscope records, and their albums sold on Amazon, may be notable themselves ... but I actually wonder if this band might even be a hoax.

 * Comment I undeleted the images that were formerly used on this article. Both images of the band didn't show their faces, and the live image was claimed to be of the band playing at Brixton Academy but was clearly in a much smaller venue and conveniently blurred so that faces couldn't be made out.  Meanwhile, Kreator didn't tour the US or Canada in 2008 as their tour was cancelled (and they were supporting King Diamond anyway), they just did a few European dates .  The only thing that's stopping me calling "hoax" right now and G3'ing this is that the author has a lot of good contributions as well. Black Kite (talk) 08:55, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * And further, I tried searching for some of the track titles on this supposedly major label release; result - nothing at all except mirrors of this article. I call bullshit. Black Kite (talk) 13:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Like Black Kite, I'm not finding any reliable sources containing information that would satisfy even one criterion of WP:BAND. If this isn't a hoax, it's very good imitation. Chaos Theory (Hanging Garden album) should be deleted as well; I don't know whether an A9 speedy would be appropriate if this closes as delete or another AfD is needed.
