The News (band)

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

"Article is entirely unsourced. Many claims but searching Google web and books I cannot find a single site even mentioning this band other than their Myspace page, much less a reliable source which verifies the subject exists."

Those aren't my words. That's what User:Fuhgetaboutit wrote last year in his PROD notice, which was declined with a recommendation to give it more time. More time has indeed passed, and still the only reference is a myspace page. I have nothing more to say. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 21:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I meant to AfD this ages ago and actually started writing a nomination and then got sidetracked and subsequently forgot. I have located some of the research I did at the time in a wordpad file where I dump things in progress showing that there are no results for any of the band members but for Wikipedia mirrors, using a targeted Google search to avoid false positives:    . Appears unverifiable.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Unverifiable band that fails WP:MUSIC quite thouroughly. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This "The News" may be nn and deletable, but there is at least one band of this name that is not. As such, delete this, and use the title as a redirect to Huey Lewis & The News. Grutness...wha?  00:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
