The Hex Girls (fictional band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A minor element of a few episodes of "Scooby-Doo". Paragraph after paragraph of in-universe detail, sourced only to a two-paragraph EW review of a direct-to-video cartoon movie. Calton | Talk 06:20, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, that's the exact formatting. --Calton | Talk 10:01, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I see no reason to keep this article if they are an incredibly minor fictional band. From what I can tell, they appear very few times in the Scooby Doo saga. Furthermore, they are already covered in detail at List of minor Scooby-Doo characters, and after reading WP:NOPAGE again I think there is no need for a standalone article about this subject. Note: The List of minor Scooby-Doo characters article's deletion is also being discussed at WP:Articles for deletion/List of minor Scooby-Doo characters and as of this time the unanimous opinion is delete. ~ Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:18, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG, fancruft, also see the ANI thread linked from WP:Articles for deletion/List of minor Scooby-Doo characters for other context. SemiHypercube 22:22, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm pretty certain this has been deleted before, possibly under a different name. This time it is just as non-notable and comp,letely inadequately referenced. These are not major characters in the TV series. At most, they should get a one or two sentence mention in another article, and probably not even that. Also Earwig's Copyvio Detector suggests that a lot of this article is copied from http://hero.wikia.com/wiki/Hex_Girls. It is probably not actually copyvio but we still don't want a paste from a fan wiki article. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:57, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah. I was right. The Hex Girls was previously deleted at AfD in 2011 (Articles for deletion/The Hex Girls). It was then userfied and eventually came back as a redirect to List of Scooby-Doo characters where, guess what, we find pretty much exactly the same content as in this article, presumably pasted from the same source. I have cut that down quite a bit now but it is still more coverage than the subject merits. This also counts as a strong additional argument for deletion here, namely that we already have way more than sufficient coverage of this subject in another article and do not need to duplicate it here. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:26, 6 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article is about a very trivial subject and as per above it appears to be all copied from an external source anyways. Katniss   May the odds be ever in your favor ♥  15:48, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above Spiderone  19:46, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above comments. They may be one of my favorite parts from Scooby-Doo, but they do not meet the notability requirements for a separate article. Aoba47 (talk) 20:35, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
