The Idoru

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Profoundly unnotable band which hasn't released any new material in a decade. The article wasn't substantially touched for years. Search for WP:SIGCOV yielded no results aside from their own Facebook page. The style in which article is written is non-encyclopedic and suggests WP:COI. This is my first time nominating, otherwise I would go straight for PROD. MitYehor (talk) 23:45, 6 March 2023 (UTC) Edit: Dear all, I got too carried away while commenting on other poor examples of existing articles and made an honest mistake. This band is indeed passing WP:BAND and should have not been nominated. What gave it away though is the poor encyclopedic style in which the article is presented, so as a retribution I will attempt to improve it. I am voluntarily de-listing this nomination. (I will not touch the discussion thread though and let the auto-moderating sequence to organically resolve) // MitYehor (talk) 22:36, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

 * keep it seems they were awarded the Hungarian Music Awards twice (Fonogram) if the article is correct. That should pass WP:NBAND, however the article needs major work. --hroest 02:30, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have some familiarity with Hungary and its music scene, and though I'm American I can attest that searching for information is difficult due to tricky translation issues. From what I can find, this band is listed as winning the Hungarian Music (Fonogram) Award once in 2012, as seen at this official site: . That leads us to the question of whether that is a "major" award per WP:BAND #8. Winning that award seems to generate some minor local news coverage, such as, but with little notice abroad. If you only search for this band in the English-dominant sources that appear near the top of a regular Google search, you will find nothing useful. Therefore I recommend that someone more familiar with the Hungarian language and that country's news sources consult on the best ways to search for this band. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 20:04, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
