Major Lazer

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is either an attack page/unsourced bio or a fancruft article on a fictionous character, possibly the origin of the name of a non-notable band yet to release their first album. Passportguy (talk) 22:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * G1/G3 "Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs." says it all. This is pure nonsense/hoaxery. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 23:09, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as tagged. No way a musician's infobox could be appropriate for an article on a military person. And even disregarding the infobox, this smells like a pure hoax. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 23:33, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hold on. While the intro part is a hoax, "Major Lazer" is a real musical project; notability to be verified. Possibly We are about to make ourselves laughable. Mukadderat (talk) 00:15, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, the sources in the article don't even mention him and those sentences talk about someone else entirely. I did the smart thing and checked for "Major Lazer" sources but found bupkis.

http://www.myspace.com/majorlazer Major Lazer is a musical project by Diplo & Switch. the character is fictional but the project is real! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.52.159 (talk) 03:48, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This doesn't appear notable, as the album isn't out yet. If it comes out and it's decently successful, then it's fine, but until such time I've gotta say this doesn't meet the notability standard.  Also, to top it all off, the article feels like an ad.  Also, to the unsigned comment above: A MySpace account does not equal notability.Tyrenon (talk) 03:50, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
