Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wildside (band)

Sorry, but i had to turn the volume down. I’m a music fan—all genres. But i specialize in the shit that went undiscovered or overlooked. I just listened to Wildside’s album Under the Influence. Not my first go round w these dudes. I know they didn’t make a ton of records, and i don’t know shit about critical acclaim, but i can tell you this. Listening to this album on march 24, 2019 was like a time machine. And yet it held up. Anyone who says otherwise, i’d love the opportunity to talk music w them. And give them a chance to discover an amazing album while i’m at it

Wildside (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Created by an editor who admits on the article talk page that he is a member of the band, and written like promotional original research. Current sources are a blog interview with a band member, and a Discogs listing proving that the albums exist. They have an AllMusic biography, but even if quoted in its entirety, it would only provide the stubbiest of permastubs: it's three lines long, one of which lists the band members, and another of which describes the band's music as "derivative and uninspired", so it can't be used as an objective description of the band for a Wikipedia biography. The only mentions of the band that I can find in back issues of Billboard are a passing mention in a list of Capitol Records' new signings and another one-line passing mention that they were on tour as a support act. Absolutely no clue whatsoever given in the text of the supposed association with Guns n' Roses. By the article creator's own admission the band went absolutely nowhere.

 * Delete - Meets neither WP:GNG or WP:NBAND. Onel 5969  TT me 17:01, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. I couldn't find anything that meets WP:BAND. The album was released by a major label but I couldn't find any coverage of it, though of course this was a pre-internet era. Unless anything else turns up, I can't see how this meets the guidelines for inclusion. — sparklism hey! 12:22, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
