Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Myth (band)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy close, as a bold move because it is unclear if the nomination is really about The Myth or about a vandalized version of the article that has since been reverted (see below). Also, the article does indeed have a source. User:QuickQuokka is welcome to re-nominate The Myth for deletion if that was the original intention, but a more descriptive rationale should be included‎. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:58, 9 July 2023 (UTC) (non-admin closure)

Not notable, no sources, just seems like fancruft QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 08:18, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Delete. I can't find any independent third party sources at all, so fails Wikipedia:Notability (music). Qcne (talk) 13:34, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

• Procedural Comment - In the last edit before the deletion nomination, someone vandalized the article and replaced the first paragraph with an attempted promotion for an unknown Nigerian rapper named Nbakstar. I recognized immediately that the vandalized version of the article had a lead paragraph that did not match the title of the article, but it appears that the nominator did not. I removed the vandalism, but I wonder if the nominator based this AfD on Nbakstar rather than the Maltese rock band called The Myth. The above voter also offered no information on who they investigated. I suggest straightening out whether this AfD is really about The Myth. Pinging: QuickQuokka, Qcne. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:28, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

  You're right, I only Googl'ed Nbakstar and Joel okolo festus which obviously led to no results. Sorry, should have been more on the ball.

  The Myth has this eligible source and maybe this one but I think its a promo-piece. Struggling to find other sources, though... Qcne (talk) 14:35, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
