The Yellow Melodies

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article is without a single source, that appears to be written by the lead singer of the band (and is written like an advertisement for that matter) so a clear WP:COI issue here. Survived speedy deletion because creator removed tag in 2013 with a claim that the band were signed to Darla (which there is no source for available), has somehow survived since. I can find no significant relevant coverage for this band, nor any indication they pass WP:MUSIC at all. ser! (chat to me). 22:39, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I am the editor who added the cleanup-rewrite template last November. It is clear that the lead singer is the only person who really cares about this band, and they are also evidently only contributing to Wikipedia as a medium for self-advertisement. A speedy deletion was also declined in 2010, as Rafa had done "a great deal of work" to the article, however a quick look at the current state of the history section may tell you that the article fails to comply with the standards of Wikipedia, and that there are no sources listed anywhere. As such I support a deletion. Cilidus (talk) 23:54, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom and Cilidus comments above. No comments necessary beyond those. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - It must be noted that they have a fairly long biography at AllMusic, and one album review there too. However the bio article is largely a laundry list of members joining and leaving. Usually, that would help a band reach the notability rules here, but I can find no other reliable media coverage of this band despite their long history and many albums. Perhaps they had a Spanish equivalent of their name that was used in their country, but for our purposes here they are largely invisible beyond the usual streaming and retail sites. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 04:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - in terms of Allmusic as a means of establishing notability, relevant discussion relating to this on WP:RSN at the moment. Acousmana (talk) 18:18, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

The Yellow Melodies are an active indiepop band from Spain that are releasing records nowadays on international labels such as The Beautiful Music (Canada), Old Bad Habits (Greece) or Spanish labels, and they're even releasing more records abroad than in their own country. They're releasing a new EP called "Sunshine Pop Ep3" in late March 2021, that's why I consider they should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafaskam (talk • contribs) 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - The person above has the same name as the band's leader (see WP:DUCK), created the article back in 2010 and wrote most of the text. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
