[edit] Black Nocturnal Darkness, Magnor (band), Xenobite

First of all, I am neither a native English-speaker nor a regular user of the English Wikipedia, so if I am saying or doing something curious, it most probably isn’t on purpose.

For the article, I strongly believe it is fake. I first stumbled across it in April 2006 and was a bit surprised that I never heard about the band before, as I am fairly interested—and involved—in this kind of music for quite a while. So I consulted the two or three bigger search engines, and none of them returned a single match, which hardened my suspicion that this “band” doesn’t actually exist. I thereupon added a speedy deletion template which has been removed by DakotaKahn some hours later. I wasn’t aware of the fact that in the English Wikipedia IPs aren’t allowed to nominate pages for speedy deletion. However, in view of the reason I gave, it, in my opinion, wasn’t the optimal way to remove the template without continuing the discussion elsewhere.

Since April, articles have been started in three further Wikipedias, the “band” has been added to the Metal Archives index, and appeared on various other web sites, yet I haven’t seen a single publication so far that isn’t entirely based on the above-mentioned article. I haven’t talked to a single black metal fan who has ever heard of this “band” before. So, as long as nobody is able to convince me of the opposite, I regard this “band” to be fake. --89.58.61.207 18:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete NN or hoax. 50 ghits mostly back to wikipedia or mirrors. No gracenote listing for their extensive discography.--Nick Y. 18:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Very probable hoax. No non-wiki information about them out there at all. We should also delete Magnor (band) and Xenobite (album) if this article goes. Tevildo 18:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment AfD extended accordingly. Tevildo 18:39, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I concurr with the AfD extension.--Nick Y. 18:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete this and all related. Quite elaborate hoax from the sheer dearth of hits on all possible search terms. Hoaxes aren't speediable though (same for Moonfrost btw which shouldn't have been speedied). ~ trialsanderrors 18:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
