The April Decca

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Hoax. I copy edited the lede then I reached the line, "The April Decca was created on May 2, 1977 in protest over the election of George W. Bush to office." The external links don't add up, and Google returns few results. rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 23:54, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as hoax, spam, or both. ReverendWayne (talk) 00:30, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That was my first instinct too, but it didn't strike me as exactly "blatant". Would support a speed delete, tho. --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 08:08, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

This is not a hoax, the information that was removed may have been wrong but I've seen this band perform and while I can't attest to the accuracy of all the information, I can say it's a real band. The1Creator (talk • contribs)
 * Delete An IP has removed the most blatant part of the hoax, but it's still a hoax. Edward321 (talk) 18:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Delete the hoax. Greenleaf (talk) 18:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Following the link to the "unofficial website" I figured it probably was a real band, but much of the article is clearly made-up stuff. So to the extent it's accurate, it's promotional, and to the extent it's phony, it's a hoax.  ReverendWayne (talk) 23:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I change my 'Speedy Delete' to Delete per The1Creator's information, still I don't think this article should stay. It's still NN: for instance and there's no single Google hit for the gentleman mentioned in the section about the whole host of mythology surrounding The April Decca.

 * Hey, I'm new to Wikipedia editing so I'm not sure how to say this officially. I wanted to say though, this article seems to have exaggerations in it but is legitimate, I have seen this band perform. I don't think it needs to be deleted, it just needs a more honest writer to edit it and take out the errors and exaggerations. - User:LRRAHL 14:51, 10 August 2009
