Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kasha Mann (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. There is no need to wait for this discussion to run for a week, for the following reasons. (1) It qualifies for speedy deletion under CSD G5, as it was created by a block-evading sockpuppet or meatpuppet: it doesn't matter which. (2) It qualifies for speedy deletion under CSD G4 (recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). While the article is not identical to the deleted one, the only substantial difference is in the references, and since they are largely fakes (as explained below by SmartSE & Brianhe) they can be disregarded.

No change from the previous AFD - still fails WP:NMUSIC. While there appears to be an impressive bunch of references, closer inspection reveals that they are not reliable. Six have impressive sounding names like RS "The Times of Texas" etc. but they are clearly not reliable and having looked them up on https://who.is/ are all operated by the same organisation. I'll surmise that they were created purely for use here, something that I've seen before. SmartSE (talk) 13:07, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:TNT delete: the burden on the volunteer editors to weed through the reference falsification is too great. As documented at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist, at least six references appear to be created by the same group for advertising purposes. Brianhe (talk) 16:08, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
