Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaamans

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 of the debate was DELETE. All keep votes are by obvious sock puppets. Although all of them have user names in the signatures, none of them was added by the actual registered user. User:Tirod only has contributions to the Shaamans article, and User:Valou and User:Eddy17 don't even exist. — JIP | Talk 12:06, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Shaamans

I am from Réunion island and I can affirm that they are absolutely not reknowned. The article itself says that the band was created in 2004. By the way, the page has been deleted on French Wikipédia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thierry Caro (talk • contribs) 02:03, November 16, 2005

• Delete. No evidence that they meet any of our music notability guidelines at WP:NMG. They have released one album but no evidence of it charting in a large or medium size country. Réunion has 763,000 people so that it probably doesn't qualify as a large or medium size country for the purpose of a charting album or tour. France obviously is but the deletion at the French Wikipedia would show that they are not very well-known there. Capitalistroadster 07:16, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The group hasn't even put biographical information about itself on its own web site [1]. I don't see any evidence that they satisfy any of the WP:MUSIC criteria. --Metropolitan90 07:19, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Thierry Caro has a small band which is unknown at reunion island, he doesn't like shaamans and don't want them to be known outside reunion and mauritius island even if they've already edited two albums with village titan. Does wikipedia exist to talk only about huge countries or to show the reality of our days. Even if reunion island count only 763,000 people, those people live, exist and have their own cultur. -- Tirod 14:43, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Great band, cute drummer. -- Valou 19:50, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Nice Music. -- Eddy17 23:17, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Note that each of the three above "keep" votes are by anonymous IPs with contributions only to this AfD debate and User:Thierry Caro's user page. This is clearly a blatant case of sock puppeting. — JIP | Talk 22:08, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Please note that the same IP voted "Keep" twice. One vote should not be accounted for. Of course, no attention should be paid to its first sentence. My proposal is neutral and my contributions valuable, at least I hope so... Thierry Caro 19:32, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
