The Public (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The page appears to be a long-lived hoax. Not only do no references exist for the subject itself, the additional supposed bands listed in the article (Galactic Armageddon, The Chompies, Lights Out Gang, Cakewalk Champion) also appear to be fictitious, generating no clear Google results apart from Wikipedia and mirrors. Even if the band did exist, which appears doubtful, there is no evidence that it ever released a single or album or otherwise received coverage in WP:RS. Thus, the article also appears to fail WP:NMUSIC and WP:V. Calamondin12 (talk) 20:58, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, even if, and I say if, found not to be a hoax; no RS citing and not notable at all. Kierzek (talk) 21:15, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: looking at the article history, I suspect this may have started out as a bit of self-publicity for a high school band, and has been "hoaxified" by other editors over the years. But regardless, they fail WP:NBAND and WP:GNG. Richard3120 (talk) 21:25, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
