Limelight (band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This new article has quickly gone through a speedy nomination and a proposed deletion nomination (the latter by me). Both have been removed by the same anonymous editor, so I'm bringing it here.

The article claims some remarkable things for this American band, and namedrops everyone from Elvis Costello to Hillary Clinton; however none of it is true. This is a complete hoax. Kateshort forbob  22:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoaxalicious with a Retsyn™ center. "limelight band rob mantegani" turns up bupkis on Google, so it must be a hoax. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete' per WP:SNOW. I put the Speedy tag on the article originally (incorrectly, as it does actually assert its notability, technically). Obvious hoax. Apparently released somewhere around 6 CDs in '07. selling about 100 million copies. Then why have I never heard of them? --Evan Seeds ( talk )( contrib. ) 22:28, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as a hoax, not to mention per WP:BOLLOCKS. This article makes absolutely ridiculous claims that could not possibly be true, and Google turns up absolutely nothing for a band that supposedly is loved by half the world. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 23:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

"KEEP IT!!!!!" Are you seriously kidding me right now? How can you not have heard of Limelight? They are one of the best bands out there, not to mention the most attractive. Saying that you havent heard of Limelight is like saying that you haven't heard of brittney spears (one of my all time idols)! I am Limelight's #1 fan, I have all their albums and i totally agree with Hillary, which is why I'm voting for her and I hope that she wins despite her unfaithful husband, and her strange eyebrows. I find it insulting to hear that you think it is a hoax. If you havent heard of them...then you are pretty much a loser. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.161.83.68 (talk) 02:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

"DEFINITELY KEEP!!!" How can anyone have never heard of Limelight? Its only like the greatest band in the history of all time. I went to a Limelight concert last spring, and I was totally blown away. My life has been changed forever. Robert Mantegani is a musical prodigy, so its no wonder he got a record contract at age five. Limelight is definitely like, the #1 band in band history. And if you think that this band is "bollocks", then there is definitely something wrong with you. So, yeah. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.116.83 (talk) 02:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - smells like a hoax to me. -FrankTobia (talk) 03:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Keep it. Limelight is my favorite all time band and to delete their profile would be a sin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Huxley45671 (talk • contribs) 03:23, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Snowball delete, I'm nominating this for speedy deletion as patent nonsense (any article that claims "Rolling Stone magazine ranked them as #1 on the Greatest Bands of All of History ahead of Bob Dylan and Bach" is talking utter nonsense) too.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 05:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
