The Whythouse

 * – ( View AfD View log )

In my searches I can only find them on the usual self-published websites like Deezer, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube, Twitter etc. Does not appear to meet any of the criteria at WP:BAND and appears to fail WP:GNG also. I have also asked the creator to disclose WP:COI as all of their edits seem to be promoting this non-notable band. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:55, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - Shameless self-promotion claiming that a group that accomplished nothing 20 years ago were pioneers for an entire nation and have a cult following that's ecstatic about their recent reunion. The editor Plexomatic is almost certainly involved in a conflict of interest, and tried to turn his Talk page into a Project page (reversed by Spiderone). The editor did a lot of work adding the group's unknown cover version to Missing You (John Waite song) and barged into the Canadian hip hop article as if the group has some influence. They don't, as all of this is simply an extension of the self-created promo and streaming sites noted by Spiderone. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 00:25, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment the creating editor attempted to deleted this AfD discussion, and blanked the page containing the AfD template, but as the page has been nominated for AfD the discussion should continue and be properly closed to leave a record of that decision. Pam  D  06:17, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per Spiderone and Doomsdayer. Also, might I add that this is as far from an article as it gets. The logo of the band, an infobox and the listing of their short discography does not equal an article. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:12, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * That one editor has been meddling with the article a lot. Yesterday it had text about their supposed influence and widespread anticipation for their reunion, which we have debunked here. Earlier today it was blanked out completely, right this minute it has a bare bullet list of songs. All for nothing. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 21:19, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * If he had meddled with the article, it's another valid reason to delete this. Wikipedia is not a playground. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:23, 13 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Definite COI here, as the article creator Plexomatic is also the stage name of Chris Hale, one of the members of the Whythouse. He has seven followers on Twitter and three followers on Soundcloud. I think we can safely say that this band is not notable. Richard3120 (talk) 15:01, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
