Neotek

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

Hi, first time starting an AFD here. While doing anti-vandal work and tracing the steps of a vandal, I came across their newcomer edits on this article that has had a flurry of newcomer task activity in the last week. Upon a further look, I found that the article has no RS, as some have brought up on the talk page. There might also be some kind of copyright violation going on here with last.fm. A Google and Google News search for "Neotek" only brings up various industrial companies (lighting, car parts, and music consoles) also named Neotek, and I can't find any RS on "Neotek band". A quick look at the page history will also reveal that the article was started by a member of the band in 2009, which is clearly COI. Said band member declares COI on another band article which didn't make it out of AFC. Overall I can't find anything to indicate that this band passes WP:NMUSIC, so I'm nominating it for deletion.

 * Delete unless better sources are found - most of it is not sourced and the only ref is a short paragraph about them. Prahlad balaji (talk) 15:34, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - the original content was about a "manufacturer of recording consoles for professional recording studios". The part about the band was added by User:Cybersen, who seems to be affiliated with the band. Prahlad balaji (talk) 15:35, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - Oh, you're right-- it seems I didn't make it all the way to the start of the page history. For onlookers, the article was created in 2006, and taken over by User:Cybersen in 2009. The original article (about the consoles) was a stub tagged with an advertisement template, and also lacked any sources. The consoles do seem to be in use, but I can't find any RS focusing on them (beyond brief mentions) in Google News either. Blue Edits (talk) 09:09, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - If you search for the band in conjunction with the names of various members, a few brief album reviews from their country pop up, such as: . But I can find nothing journalistic or significant about their history. The "original version" suggested by a voter above was for a device of the same name and is irrelevant for this discussion. Except for the occasional very brief review, the band is only visible at the usual directory sites, plus a blank Allmusic entry at . ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 02:02, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
