The 17[edit]

Non-notable band. No sources, feels hoaxy. May be a candidate for a speedy. LaMenta3 05:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A search for "The 17" +"Backwards Maybe?" +band -wikipedia yields nothing related to any music band. This, plus the unsourced extraordinary claims (Top of the charts for only 15 mins?) suggest that it is a hoax.--Alasdair 06:04, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete, almost speedy delete as blatant advertising (except no sales-links are on there, which is why I'll go with strong delete). Obviously written by a band member having some fun. Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} - Review me! 06:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete I can find nothing indicating that their ridiculous claims are true, and I looked on seven different search engines. For that matter I can't even prove this band exists. Advertising, not notable, and possibly a hoax. Hut 8.5 10:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
'Speedy Delete, utter nonsense, and tagged as such. Burzmali 19:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't nonsense as defined by G1 - I removed the tag. Definitely delete, but G1 doesn't quite cover this. Nihiltres^(t.l) 20:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 14:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete - were it incoherent, I would have deleted it already as nonsense. Nihiltres^(t.l) 20:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Vanity, non-notable band. Keb25 22:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
