Nahla Rowe (singer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article seems to be (or based on) a well-organised hoax, possibly interwoven with aspects of this person's life that are real. Let's take the intro: "Her self titled debut album was released in October of 2006 and went on to peak at number 5 on the Billboard 200 chart, eventually selling 2 million copies worldwide. The album produced two Billboard Hot 100 entries, including the Top 20 hit 'Typical Love Story'." Well, I can find no evidence that this album exists. I can find a YouTube video uploaded a week ago claiming to be this person performing a song 'Typical Love Story' but searching the lyrics reveals that this song is actually 'Love Story', a minor R&B hit by Katharine McPhee from 2007. The same uploader, under the name '90s Throwback' has uploaded several other 'Nahla Rowe' songs which all also seem to be obscure R&B songs by other artists. I have contacted the page creator, Musicbiblegod on their talk page but they have not replied. I can also find a Twitter page and photographs attributed to this person, but I have no evidence that it has ever interacted with anyone. There's a of them uploaded a few months back by another burner account, User:Fashionhousedaily, so we're dealing with multiple burner accounts if this is a hoax. - Blythwood (talk) 09:43, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * On balance, since this is just so blatant, upgraded to speedy delete, but keeping this content here for background. Blythwood (talk) 10:20, 21 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - creator keeps removing templates, including AfD. She does appear to be a fashion designer, but the article about her music career and being discovered by Clive Davis, Billboard hits etc is pure hoax. —Мандичка YO 😜 10:52, 21 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep I removed them because this is simply ridiculous. Rowe's album is still on itunes and every other outlet, as I cited on the page, along with additional sources. this is the itunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/album/id1068232479?ls=1&app=itunes Musicbiblegod (talk) 10:55, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Article speedily deleted as hoax, user blocked (three hours only) —Мандичка YO 😜 11:05, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Have opened a sockpuppet investigation on the page creator in case they've done this before. Blythwood (talk) 11:06, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
