The detentes

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

Band article seems to fail notability guidelines on music and certainly fails verifiability. In fact, this article contains sufficient misinformation to border on WP:HOAX territory, if it doesn’t actually cross over. Pay particular attention to the “quotes” section. Reference on Pitchfork media is unverifiable. All google hits to “The détentes” & “Talentless but motivated” currently go to bebo.com, as do all hits to their Christmas EP. Their Bebo site indicates they are self published. This was a borderline speedy, but did assert notability, however implausibly. I believe barring reliable sourcing this article should be deleted.

 * Comment Sounds good to me. :) (Presuming, of course, that it doesn't return with new, but equally unverifiable/non-notable content.) However, since I'm the one who nominated it for AfD, I'll leave it for somebody else to process. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
