Kord (band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The article covers a band, but makes little assertion of notability and has no sources. It makes a brief mention of "a charted hit on a national music chart", but this is not backed up by references of any sort. I do not believe this article satisfies the notability guideline for bands.

Also nominating:
 * Stefan Corbu, as an article on a member of the band created by the same editor.

Remove articles like Kord (band) it's unfair because someone it's too lazy to verify and search for reliable sources... anyway read this and hope you'll reconsider your WRONG suggestions!!
 * Before purpose an article for deletion, i think it should be fair to search about article and about the contained of the subject. Your reasons about deletion Kord (band) are not notable. And about sources, i think i already specified the source of the image which is very legal and the info about Kord (band) it's more then notable. Try to search on google about Kord and check other websites (like www.myspace.com, www.kord.ro) for satisfied your curiosity. It's pity that there are persons which are trying to flout others work and make some contributions look like unreliable articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drokstef (talk • contribs) 01:17, 18 December 2007
 * Comment: A MySpace page or their own website is not enough to be considered notable under Wikipedia's notability standards for bands. What you'd need to find is a reliable, independent source discussing the band, and/or a citation showing the notability of the band in some other way as outlined by the notability guidelines.

 * There are many backed up references about Kord in a national music chart, but it's very important to know how to search on google and very-very important to read!!! Take some reliable links about that: RT100 and search Issue no.49/2005 and you'll find Kord in a national music chart; another link with many notable and important details about Kord RadioLynx . So, it's not my bussines look for you something that you should know; and if you still want to look up for take this: KissFM-Texas —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drokstef (talk • contribs) 01:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I ask you to place these souces in the article, not here. -Carados (talk) 01:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * As you are the creator and primary contributor of the article in question it is your business and no-one else's to source the article properly and establish it's notabilty. --Neon white (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Not true. Wikipedia is a product of collaborative editing, per our Editing policy, and articles do not have owners, per our Ownership of articles policy.  You can look for sources, too, and should do, per our Deletion policy, before considering deletion as an option.  Improving articles at Wikipedia is everyone's business.  Wikipedia does not need editors who think that the actual writing of the encyclopedia is Somebody Else's Problem.  Wikipedia needs editors who will collaboratively help to find sources and to write and improve articles.  I encourage you to be the sort of editor that Wikipedia needs.

 * Comment I checked this site per Drokstef's suggestion, and found that Kord did indeed chart in Romania. However, I'm having no luck finding any other sources, and the RT100 page won't let you link directly to an individual chart week.

 * Delete. In the link provided, Kord hit #96 in issue #49 in 2005 for song Langa mine.  In issue #48 (immediately prior to listing at #96), Kord was not on the list.  In issue #50, Kord was #79.  That is the last issue for 2005.  In Issue #1 for 2006, Kord was not on the list. That seems to be it.  Reached #96 and then #79 in weekly top 100 for Romanian chart.  Then gone.  One hit wonder. Not notable.  Delete Stefan Corbu as well.    Keeper   |   76  22:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete both - if they get at least one more notable song (as if), consider bringing them back. Dahn (talk) 23:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wrong aplication!

<You're trying to delete some articles which are very notable (without searching for reliable sources) and this articles are containing some important criteria for musicians like: they had a charted hit on a national music chart (RT100) and if you search about RT100, you'll see that it's a reliable source; and then, this band (Kord) contains at least one member who was once a part of a band that is otherwise notable (Nicoleta Alexandru); and then, they had been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network (SRR - Radio România Actualităţi); and then, they had been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network, like : RadioTotal which had them in their top too, and few weeks ago they were invited on Romantica (Romanian TV Channel) in a tv-show named Teoviziunea (which i saw with my own eyes), where they launch the new video of a single named Viseaza. You don't think that this are reliable source and notable? I know more examples like those, but i won't write every tv-show or national radio that had them invited, and i'm sure that i don't know all the important shows where they were invited. So, please contact all those named sources and find that i'm NOT a crazy editor which is writing some aberrations. Everything that i write you it's TRUE and because of that i think that both article are notable! Thanks for reading this and hope you'll not suggest again both articles for "Article for deletion".> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.36.80.198 (talk) 01:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC) i've just checked about Kord and my own opinion is that they are notable. i've checked about their "mention charted hit on a national music chart" HERE and it's true that they had a charted hit named LANGA MINE, don't know what does it mean that, but i heard the song on their site www.kord.ro and it's a good song. i've checked too about their appearence on Romantica (Romanian TV Channel) and it's truly notable and the other example about the member Stefan Corbu that he was once a part of a band that is otherwise notable Nicoleta Alexandru it's true too. So, i think that it's ok to not remove this article and i delete by myself the AfD message because i read privacy policy and it's permited to do that when you find notable source about the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.168.220.29 (talk) 20:10, 23 December 2007
