Another band with no notability and unreliable sources on Wikipedia. I don't see a point in keeping this page. Glucken123 (talk) 15:34, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - No evidence that WP:BEFORE was followed and good evidence that it probably wasn't as this was part of a mass-nomination of dozens of articles about Greek culture over the course of a hour. FOARP (talk) 16:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Glucken123 nominated a lot of pages about Greek bands/musicians today during an hour which is crazy. Most of the pages he nominated does not look notable, I admit that, and the sourcing is bad on those pages. But this is a notable band, it even cites Allmusic and Billboard in the sources. When those two sites cover a band, you know it's notable. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 16:44, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GhostDestroyer100, pay close attention here. For starters, I have a Billboard account and the articles provided are fake sources, as the band's name is not mentioned at all! The same thing applies to Allmusic where anyone can add their band's biography! It's literally easy as 1,2,3 - try it. Finally, Musician's Friend links to a guitar listing!

@Glucken123:: Hmm, well I don't know. I have always been convinced that Billboard and Allmusic are reliable sources. I have read this so many times in Wikipedia. So I really don't know. But the rest of the sources are bad though as they are either blogs or concert sites. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 17:09, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what's going on with this specific band or the 8 year old DJ, but the above message is a legal threat. Glucken123 (talk) 11:45, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No in depth coverage from reliable sources. ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 13:08, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a staff written biography on AllMusic is a reliable source and being featured on BBC radio is another indication of notability so this band should be included in Wikipedia in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:13, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AllMusic allows ANY band to upload their bio on the website. In regards to BBC, it's a mixtape from 2014. Other than that, there is nothing else notable in the reference list. Glucken123 (talk) 02:46, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AllMusic allows submissions as any source does but the staff written bios are reliable sources. In fact of your many nominations only a couple have allmusic staff written bios so its obviously not as easy as you claim, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:45, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I am convinced by Atlantic306 and also wonder about the motivations of nominating dozens of articles in an hour. --Micky (talk) 17:48, 20 June 2020 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet Malcolmxl5 (talk) 03:24, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This seems to fail the GNG. PJvanMill (talk) 19:36, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All music does not let artists add biographies as easy as 123 at all, and it is indeed an editorial bio like other editors have mentioned www.allmusic.com/FAQ/topic/updatebio . The billboard magazine issues are cited as well and can be found on academia.edu as well. The nomination is clearly an attack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.104.214.199 (talk) 21:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
