Sergio Sergio

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The tag at the top of this page says it all. It is written like an advert. More importantly however is the dearth of any references to support the existence of the page; a Google search yields precious little substance barring some of the customary fan pages, i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Soundcloud etc. The article's tone is evidently exaggerated, with several references to 'hits', despite the band having no discography whatsoever. They have rather cunningly inserted a soundcloud citation with a sly note saying "Sergio Sergio release songs to critical acclaim". Of course there is no critical praise from paid critics, just 12 likes spread between their vast repertoire of three songs; most likely they were reciprocal likes by the band members. There is always a correlation between bad articles and classic puffery, the following sentence embodies such exaggerated prose unquestionably. "The chemistry between the five was apparent from the offset. Given was the missing piece in the Sergio Sergio jigsaw, and the band worked on monster hits such as Eucatastrophe, Dangerous Minds and The Vanguard Siren." All joking aside, even without monster hits, the least I expect when i'm looking at a music article for a Scottish band is some relevant media coverage such as The List, The Skinny, Scotsman or even an entry at Allmusic.com. "Sergio Sergio is born" they proclaim, sadly it could be a premature end. I nominate this article for deletion with conviction; but if anyone can search the depths of the world wide web and find anything to counterclaim this nomination, I will happily accept egg on my face.

 * Delete Nothing found in mainstream Scottish press in terms of reviews, but some footprint found in Indyzines: . The band have the launch of their first EP at the Classic Grand in Glasgow tonight; wishing them well, but that in itself demonstrates that they currently fall well short of the WP:MUSICBIO criteria.

 * Delete. This group does not yet appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND; I am unable to find significant coverage for them in independent, reliable sources.  Gong   show  15:43, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Delete. Lack of significant coverage or even an assertion of notability. Bearian (talk) 20:41, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
