BoyBand[edit]

Makes a claim to notability (has been on TV) but may still fail WP:MUSIC. Doesn't have an entry on the All Music Guide which is extremely comprehensive. No sources cited and the generic name makes searching for sources difficult. Searching for t4, boyband, popworld produces nothing referring directly to this group. If nothing else, fails WP:V at the moment and quite possibly WP:N as well. h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 13:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I did a brief search and NOTHING comes up on this little thing called the internet. This may be due to the tough search term of 'boyband' which is so generic, but even with qualifiers I didn't see anything. Definitely doesn't appear notable, certainly not verifiable. I know this isn't scientific... but the picture of the "band" looks like a hoax picture. The entire entry could be a hoaxGwynand (talk) 14:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I'd also like to recommend that if the article is deleted, the title "BoyBand" should be redirected to boyband.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - OK, this is weird. Look here, its lists another band just called "Boyband", which originated out of New Zealand. Nothing comes up for this band either, the page also looks like a possible hoax (dead links for band page, nothing coming up on google). Even if not a hoax, looks like verifiability issues. Not sure if these pages are at all related, but neither look good. Maybe that one should go up for deletion as well.Gwynand (talk) 14:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not a hoax, but still probably not notable enough for Wikipedia.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 14:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification - I meant that "BoyBand" is not a hoax, and "Boyband (New Zealand band)" is not a hoax either. For sure.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 16:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
