Longshanks (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An article about a band that does not appear to meet WP:NBAND. The article has been sourced only to the band's own website since its creation, and I have been unable to find any sources that discuss the band in any meaningful way. The most I was able to find was this brief review on their one released album. However, the site its hosted on is questionable as a reliable source, and is not sufficient on its own to support notability for the band. I initially WP:PRODed the article, but the PROD was contested by the page create without explanation. Rorshacma (talk) 22:13, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment: it probably won't be a surprise to anyone to learn that this is an autobiographical article... the creator "Imagesandmusic" is the band's founder André Kamer, as he states here: Talk:Taj Mahal/Archive 4. Just for good measure, his design website at https://imagesandmusic.nl/ also includes some images he created for the band's music. Richard3120 (talk) 22:44, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. The article was created by an individual with serious COI issues and should be uprooted from the encyclopedia so as not to reward corruption on Wikipedia. The only edit by this editor in six years was to de-Prod this article. They are clearly trying to keep it for personal and non-encyclopedic reasons, which was the whole purpose of the article in the first place. Newshunter12 (talk) 05:04, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Notice: I would advise the closing admin to block ImagesAndMusic (creator of this article) per the obvious violation of WP:NOTHERE as seen by the account's contributions . Jovanmilic97 (talk) 22:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I haven't been able to find anything significant that would push this band past any of the WP:NMUSIC criteria, nor WP:GNG (obvious case of having no significant coverage, searches are still leading me to Edward I of England despite searching it with "band" in the title).
