The result was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. Given the weird history / hijacking, it may be better to TNT and start again, if this group is even notable. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 14:43, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Could have been a speedy as there is no claim to notability or a PROD, but this will do as well. I searched using the Google links above and modified it so that it looked for "The Sign" "Volta" (the family name of the band members). Nothing that meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO.

- Commment The article was hijcaked 2015-11-29T07:58:35 by an anon from Tasmania, the location of the subjects as it currently stands. The version before the hijcaking has a claim to notability, but is unreferenced as well. If nominator does not object, I suggest withdrawing the nomination and let's revert to that version and try to source it. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:19, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Walter Görlitz: Feel free to revert it, but I'm not prepared to withdraw the AfD yet, since notability is still questionable. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 08:45, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revert discussion

If the AfD goes forward, would it be a problem to restore the earlier version? Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:11, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Walter Görlitz:Feel free to do so, just leave the AfD tag on the page. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 23:50, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
