[edit] Muie Maneliştilor

Unremarkable music group. Although a contemporary group, it doesn't show up in Google search results, unlike other similar groups. There is no evidence they ever released a single or an album. — AdiJapan ☎ 04:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

How do you know—do you read Romanian? Apparently most information (on the Web, anyhow) on this group is in that language. ==ILike2BeAnonymous 06:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Whoops—guess you do (the "Japan" threw me). So what do all those web sites say, anyhow? ==ILike2BeAnonymous 06:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

The phrase "muie maneliştilor" means "suck it up, you manele lovers". My best guess is that the article is a hoax, since it's hard to believe a manele group would denigrate its own genre. The 1500 or so hits on Google are only such vulgar invectives on discussion forums, not the name of a group. The few hits that do talk about a music group are Wikipedia and one website that copied our article word for word. — AdiJapan ☎ 07:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Google gives 1,570 hits for this name, but most are not in English. Delete unless notability is asserted as per WP:Music.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
  • English sources are preferred, not required. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unless article is given sources and an idea on how it fulfills WP:MUSIC apart from the claims of raging popularity. 1,570 hits for something in Romanian is pretty impressive, given the country's online status. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

As I said, those hits have nothing to do with the band. The band name just happens to be a widespread vulgarity. — AdiJapan ☎ 13:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I trust the native Romanian nom on this one. Grandmasterka 07:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
