MAGIC![edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Poorly sourced article about a new band who have yet to release their first album and thus fail WP:NMUSIC at the present time. I speedied the first iteration of this article yesterday, following which the creator reposted it and then made a vaguely threatening "how dare you interfere" post — including a complete repetition of the entire article — to my talk page, so I'm taking this to AFD instead so that I have backup. Of course, I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if somebody can demonstrate that there are actually enough genuinely reliable sources already out there about this band to Heymann it up to a keepable standard within the discussion period. But as the article currently stands, it's a delete. Albeit without prejudice against future recreation if and when the sources and the notability claim can be suitably beefed up.

Update: Just for the record, it's now come to my attention that one of the band members, Nasri (songwriter), already has his own separate Wikipedia article — and while it does still need some improvement, his basic notability isn't really in question. I still don't think that there's quite enough evidence of notability or sourcing for the band to have a standalone article yet, but it might be a better solution to redirect the band's article to his for the time being, until enough sourcing about the band can be added to support spinning it back out on its own.

Delete A New article can be written when they get around to being famous/infamous. DeusImperator (talk) 21:55, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
