Hyper Crush

Contested prod. Prod reason was: "Unsigned band with one record: no reviews, haven't hit the charts, no other claims to notability. Fails WP:MUSIC. Prod was removed with comment: "e-prodded - there is independent coverage (which is tantamount to a review) - will add this coverage momentarily". However, the two sources added are one press statement[1] (teh exact same text can be found on some 20 such sites[2], and one wiki-page[3] (user added comments, not professional journalistic content). No reliable independent sources available. Fram (talk) 07:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no reliable sources to establish notability -- Whpq (talk) 16:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete - fails WP:NOTE and WP:BIO. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 03:35, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: The "press statement" addition would not be considered a reliable source, but sufficient for WP:V. The "wiki-page" addition is a dated news article with a real-name by-line, which would count as a reliable source; it is not subject to editing by passers-by but is subject to appending of comments. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 11:26, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The wiki-like one: have you tried clicking on the name of the "journalist"? This does not really look like what we would consider a reliable source, but more like a wiki or a blog with members placing an article. I may be mistaken here, but it does not convince me.

Comment - I agree with the blog-like assessment. As far as I can see, people are free to post up articles. There is no indication that there is editorial oversight or discernment over any of the articles. I really don't see that as a news article or review, and see it more as a bloglike article. -- Whpq (talk) 12:42, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
