Cielo Drive[edit]

This is yet another poorly written article with no references, which at first glance looks like it was created by the band themselves. I have already nominated the singer of the band for deletion, see here; as his article is without question recalcitrant to WP:MUS. They were created in December 2007 with one large edit from user Special:Contributions/Hollywoodwaster who has done very little since then; furthermore the article has had little attention from any other editors since then. They have no charted albums or singles; there is no coverage of the band at Scottish publications The Skinny or The List or for that matter any web media. There is nothing at Allmusic.com on this band nor is there anything on Google news archive; there are no reviews for their album Goodbye to Yesterday in any web media [1]. The articles manual of style is also rather lacklustre, phrases such as "Cielo Drive have become well known for their energetic live performances and crowd interaction," typify puffery at its best. The whole article could be summed up by what the British colloquially call a piss-take. For example the section, "Non-musical album appearances" features a link to member Michael McMahon who, astonishingly does not exist, however by coincidence he has the same name as a U.S. Democratic politician, which it nicely links to. There has clearly been no attempt to make the article appear legit and just resembles a fan composed promotional message. I therefore propose deletion.

Delete. I'm unable to find evidence that this band meets WP:GNG or WP:BAND. Gong show 15:38, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete. Promotional advert, nothing found in third party sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by W Collum PhD (talk • contribs) 19:14, 26 May 2013 (UTC) [reply]
