North (band)
This band is, naturally, hard to search for, with no more information than this. artistdirect has a page for a band called North but no information about any releases, and this page also doesn't list any albums. allmusic says they performed in the 90s, not the 70s and 80s as the article says, and they also have no information about any albums.

 * Delete unless verified. I tried to google some of the name in the paragraph which was removed to the talk page, but no luck. Kappa 11:43, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone manages to verify if it passes WP:MUSIC guidelines. Sarg 19:16, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of compliance with Wikimusic guidelines or other notability. Capitalistroadster 02:23, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Informational comments.
 * The text is a summary from a less sparse one, but to me no more helpful, that may be seen in the page history of North.
 * Some history, FWIW:
 * AFAIK the vanity or fancruft text i lk above was the first on the subject on WP.
 * I recently cleaned it with a harsh detergent & moved it from North to North (band) (subject of this VfD). (And created North (disambiguation), w/ a lk to it.)
 * 3 days later, someone created North band (note lack of paren) with the same or similar text (now in the merged history).
 * I turned North band into a redir as part of the merging it into North (band)'s history.
 * The nearly 2-year-old lk to North and later North (band), from Music of Poland may be a clue, or an indication of hard-to-verify notability, or irrelevant -- i created North (band) without knowing that i was satisfying a red-lk by doing so.
