Melissa (rock band)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The second and fourth sources are some kind of coverage (first and third are not) - this seems very thin ice on which to build an article. Notability seems doubtful so bringing here for consensus. Mccapra (talk) 14:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment - Note the amateurishly Photoshopped pic in the infobox, which makes me suspect that someone affiliated with the band tried to create an image of various recent members for illustrative purposes. But on the other hand, how hard should it be to just get everybody into some chairs and take a real group photo? This is not relevant for notability but it may indicate a self-promotional effort for a band that is not in a stable state. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:50, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete - They've apparently been around for a long time, and there may be a challenge with translation from the band's native tongue. Since this article includes no information on how their name may appear in other languages, there is no way to conduct a wider search and we will have to assume that the band is being promoted internationally under this name anyway. So a search for "Melissa" in conjunction with "Malaysia" plus various member names and other strategies will have to do. And even with some creative searches I can find nothing reliable and significant. The current footnote #2 is to an article explaining how the band decided to continue after one member's death, and footnote #4 is to an article about member Keff Melissa's solo career. Otherwise all I can find is social media posts and self-uploads. Perhaps they are disadvantaged by a shortage of rock media in their country, but maybe someone with sharper searching skills will find something. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
