Simple Truth

Non-notable album of a non-notable band The Indix, which fails Wikipedia:Notability (music). I am from India, and I can assure you that neither the band nor the album are notable. Google results are about albums by other artists such as Mike Stand, Jeff Kashiwa etc. The band and the album were mentioned in some local newspapers in 2000, because the group claimed that they were the first pop-band from Kerala and that they were the first to release a 3D music video in India. That doesn't make them notable enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia. Delete. Jyothisingh 03:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've noticed that there is a series of AfDs that all pertain to this band and related articles. While they are not very good articles and their notability is shakey, is there anyway we could condense all of the articles into a single article? That way we do not have to completely wipe what could possibly be a notable band (possibly in italics for emphasis) from the entire Wikipedia, but their less notable articles can be deleted. I think that would be a good idea. --Sbrools ^{(talk . contribs)} 06:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, because it still fails WP:MUSIC. MER-C 07:43, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~, the rationale for deletion shows a fundamental misunderstanding of WP:BAND. They're covered in multiple nontrivial media sources, which you dismiss as "mentioned in some local newspapers." I'm disappointed at the pile-on votes here that don't consider any evidence. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 19:49, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I still don't like the way this is rationalized and claimed, but the total lack of google results is giving me verifiability issues. Not a single hit outside wikipedia and its mirrors. Possible hoax. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 19:52, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The band isn't popular even in Kerala.--thunderboltz ^(Deepu) 14:59, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
