The Karlz
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

My apologies, Twinkle blew this one up (and thanks, TPH!). Anyway, non-notable local duo doing covers of other bands' stuff, completely fails WP:MUSIC and WP:V. Only 15 G-hits for the band name plus the surnames of the (equally unremarkable) duo, those hits being - as ever - their own web pages, Myspace pages, personal blogs, Youtube, Facebook and this article. Sourced only to their own webpages, and a cut-and-paste of those pages to boot - the article reads like a band brochure. Nothing in general release, no tours, no airplay, and I'll be filing AfDs on the duo's individual articles as well. Created by an SPA whose sole edits are related to this band.

Completing unfinished nom for User:RGTraynor, apparently Twinkle goofed. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:01, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete for not meeting Notability (music). RJFJR (talk) 00:51, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. As the article does not contain citations from reliable sources, it does not appear to comply with the verifiability policy. The subject also does not seem to meet the notability guidelines for music. Stifle (talk) 13:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:MUSIC and pure copy job of band's own pages. This article appeared within minutes of entry of the line "The Karlz cover this song on a regular basis" in Kashmir (song) and D'yer Mak'er by 24.159.244.121. There is no encyclopedic value to this article (WP:ENC). Sswonk (talk) 23:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
