Miscreant (New Zealand band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Inactive for more than a decade, but no evidence at all that they were ever anything more than a local rock band playing the bars of Auckland. The Music.net.nz is a community blog site (half the contributors appear to be in bands themselves), and the The Cheese is another Wordpress blog that says nothing more than "one to watch out for". The prose in the article is copyvio from the other sources, which is a biography provided by the band for artist pages on online radio stations. Richard3120 (talk) 20:23, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the band's sole album, because it is sourced to the same non-RS sites and shows no evidence of notability:

 * Delete All (band and album) - I cannot add much to what the nominator has found. They were a local band that was fortunate enough to release an album, but the album received no reliable reviews and is only present in the routine streaming and retail services, and the band themselves have only been discussed in scenester blogs/social media in which they are also participants. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:37, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - creator moved to draft space but fails most notability criteria. Ed6767 (talk) 14:00, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete all agreed that neither the band or album is notable. Donaldd23 (talk) 14:23, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete yet another archetypal “MySpace band” self-promo page. Dronebogus (talk) 04:05, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, definitely not self-promotion as the article has only just been created, but the band split up over ten years ago. Richard3120 (talk) 14:21, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
