Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WZRD (band)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. Let's get a few things straight here:
 * If you want to merge an article, just go ahead and do it, or, if it may be controversial discuss it on the talk page. Don't bring it to AFD if you don't think deletion is the correct outcome.
 * Twitter is not a reliable source in any way, shape or form and should not be used to verify article content.
 * "Deserving" a page is not a valid argument to keep an article

I almost just deleted this since the one delete comment makes a valid policy-based argument, unlike the keep comments, but since there is also a valid argument for merging and several viable targets for said merger I'm leaving that option open. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:34, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge - Information would better be served as a sub-section under Kid Cudi or WZRD (album). Dfnj123 (talk) 03:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - this band hasn't even done anything yet. I've never seen an article so riddled with Twitter links. Fails WP:NMUSIC and the sources miserably fail WP:RS. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 04:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - They just released their first two singles and the tracklist for their album is out. At the very least, this should be merged with Kid Cudi's arcticle. --Cartman005 (talk) 23:51, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - The Twitter links are used properly as sources here because all of the information comes from the band members' Twitter accounts. Their album has been confirmed to be released on February 28, 2012 and is now up for pre-order. They deserve their own page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.28.90.12 (talk) 23:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * If all the information comes from the band themselves then it's not independent or necessarily reliable. Stone Cold Steve Austin has joked several times on his Twitter account about wrestling sharks but that doesn't mean he actually has. Still no evidence provided that the band meets WP:BAND criteria.

 * And on top of that this collaboration album is somewhat simular to the situation leading up to the release of Watch the Throne. When Kanye West and Jay-Z announced that they were going refer to themselves as The Throne in context of their album, a page was created for The Throne.  That page was soon after nominated for deletion and now redirects to the album page.  I do still think the information on the WZRD (band) is relevant.  Clearly better sources are needed, but the information would fit perfectly under Kid Cudi or WZRD (album).  Maybe it's even time for Dot da Genius to have a wikipedia page of his own (with reliable sources), but there is now reason why WZRD (band) needs to exist.Dfnj123 (talk) 23:42, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
