Orange Aquarium
Non-notable band, fails WP:MUSIC, borderline hoax. Claims of 3 mil. sales only added after I originally prod'd the article. Their own myspace site originally said they sold a total of 3 cds before the prod, was changed afterwards (sorry no link for this one though). Regardless, there's no evidence that this is more than a couple kids with a myspace site: --AbsolutDan (talk) 03:05, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

There is also no evidence that these are just "a couple kids with a myspace site". The original music on the site proves that they created music. It is interesting though that the sales were added after you prod'd this article. Maybe it needs further looking into, but I don't believe deletion is necesary without better proof of a hoax. -Inuyasha86


 * Actually Wikipedia articles must be verifiable in order to remain. See WP:VERIFY. --AbsolutDan (talk) 03:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for being so informative. -Inuyasha86


 * Speedy delete per CSD:A7. Sure, they kinda assert notability, but they might as well assert it by calling themselves the kings of Saturn and claim to be world-renowned for their ability to extinguish stars with whispered confessions of childhood mistakes -- this stuff is simply blatantly untrue. What, they sold almost three million CDs in Soviet Union and Japan, and a guy lit not only himself but also numerous bystanders on fire at their gig, and yet the name of their band onlu gets about 1,600 Google hits, almost none of which (except for the Myspace site) are related? Yeah, right. Accordingly, I'm tagging it with, and good riddance. -- Captain Disdain 03:41, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
