This article, initially created on 27 September 2006 by User:Aashiq al-rasul (contribs), and later contributed to by User:Aashiq al-Rasul (contribs) (different capitalization), has since that time not been provided with any references to back up the claims of notability. An appeal to provide said references on the author's talk page (and a caution on the WP:AUTO guidelines) yielded no further improvements to the article. In addition, wikilinks to this article were added to articles on nasheed, hamd and Islamic music. This seems like potential mild WP:SPAM, although well-intentioned and nowhere near as bad as most of the ones that come through here. A google search trivially shows that their CD's are sold in Islamic music stores, but brings up no third-party reliable sources that can confirm the "claims to fame" made in the article. It thus fails WP:MUSIC. Deleted unless verified by third-party reliable sources. Zunaid 15:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: (not a deletion rationale) The two user accounts created have NO edits other than those related to this article. It appears that the accounts were created purely for the purpose of creating this article, and not for the general purpose of contributing to Wikipedia as a whole.

- Delete unless cites are added before this AfD closes. It's easy for a band to make up glorified claims. Verifiability is what WP needs to maintain credibility. Akradecki 15:16, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, nothing of note here. Vanity. Deizio talk 16:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete — They seem to be an actual band, though how notable is a problem to say. Until there are sources provided about this band, as per other user requests, I will vote in the delete camp. -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 02:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
