Wired (band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Previously deleted by AFD in 2010. Contested PROD with no reason given. Page was created by a user with the same name as the singer of this band. This page has no referencing apart from two Facebook links to a recording studio and a member's subsequent band. A Google search for "Wired band Telford" does not yield any results about this band at all, apart from Wikipedia mirrors. Fails WP:V for these reasons. Even without references, this page makes no claim of notability about Wired that passes WP:BAND: it is light on detail about what this band actually achieved, if anything. This page is a self-promotion that does not even promote the self. Wallachia Wallonia (talk) 17:54, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND., your PROD was declined because this has already been at AfD, as you note, and you can't use a PROD on a previous AfD nomination. Nevertheless, there is absolutely nothing to suggest this band is notable: they weren't notable in the 1990s when they existed (no radio play, no charting material, etc.), and they aren't notable now. Presumably the page was recreated by the band member as promotion for the 2015 EP reissue of the band's old material, but that EP passed by completely unnoticed as well. It speaks volumes that even using Facebook as sources, the creator can only find sources relating to two different bands, not to the subject of the article.

 * It was a contested speedy deletion, not a contested PROD, and the articles deleted before were about another band. Peter James (talk) 22:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, the nominator said it was a PROD, which was what confused me. Richard3120 (talk) 13:19, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete The article contains no references and no indication of notability. Peter James (talk) 22:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - The band's bland name makes a search difficult but you can follow the nominator's suggestion, or try something like <"Wired" + "Glenn Mann">. I tried several such things and can find nothing but a few Wiki mirrors and tired YouTube links. When the band themselves can say little beyond the fact that they existed, that reflects their lack of accomplishments and notability. Not suited for a Wikipedia article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 17:24, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
