Moving Vehicles discography

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Discography for a band that seems not to exist in the sense that the only mention of them is on Wikipedia. I will be bundling a couple of Moving Vehicle related articles in this AFD. All of them contain links to sources, which turn out to be 404 errors and suchlike. Which is odd, as the articles assert that the band had numerous highly successful albums including number ones in the US and the UK; odder still, there are absolutely no other mentions of them online. Simply put, if this band existed, they would be a household name. The band personnel page does actually include real performers, but nobody else seems to have associated them with the band outside Wikipedia. This is hoaxing on an ambitious scale.

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are obviously related hoaxes:

 * Suggestion Possibly this should be sent to some other venue such as Miscellany for Discussion, but seeing as it's related, I'll bring it up here. The history of Moving Vehicles should also be deleted as, until it was redirected to other articles, it was what was the parent article of all this walled garden. The version of this article, with the band in its full glory is here. It should be noted - and I *am* going to note it :)  - that one of the people who decided to make it a redirect was a confirmed Jake Picasso sock, Tamon4.

 * Comment I am usually more than willing to consider, and so I would imagine other admins would be as well, a deletion discussion such as this a reasonable venue for which to consider revision deletion of the old article revs (or, somewhat equivalently, delete-then-redirect.) --j⚛e deckertalk 16:23, 21 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete all And not a single reference was what was advertised. Breathtaking, really.  --j⚛e deckertalk 16:25, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as blatant hoax (G3). No act with this name entered any of the claimed music charts, none of the articles' references establish the existence of such a band, and there is nothing on Google to suggest otherwise.  Gongshow   talk  16:37, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
