[edit] Nizam (band)

  ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because one of your friends encouraged you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is deleted. Despite what you may have been told, it is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up.

The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made purely upon weight of numbers.

Non notable band. Members are teenagers with no hits. A Google search turned up nothing relating to the band. Esprit15d 14:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete HOAX. Ivan Ilin and Alexander Kashev should also be deleted. The information in the article is completely false.  Grue  16:03, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep The band had a moderate success in Russia, especially in the Volga region cities, although I doubt it has sustained the positions in charts mentioned in the article. Probably should be cleaned up, but kept nevertheless, since Nizam is certainly more popular than other obscure Russian bands mentioned in Wikipedia (Nina & Lena, TEMA (band), Satarial, Severnye Vrata to name but few).

    • That's Prodigal_ang's only edit to Wikipedia.
  • Clean-up Should be heavily cleaned up due to some facts that aren't true. The band definitely does exist though, I heard their songs on the radio last year. The site link must be deleted too since it's old and useless. exelcior 21:33, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as unverifiable, non-notable band. Stifle 01:13, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Maybe someone can translate this in Russian and keep it in that form since this might really seem nn for users living outside Russia. the beatle 9:05, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I cleaned the article up, now it's much closer to reality. I think the author himself should work on it, too. exelcior 10:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Can you provide at least one link to credible source that proves that this band really exists? I'm from Russia myself, and I'm absolutely certain that this band, even if it does exist, fails WP:MUSIC totally. Grue 10:50, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
  • There's an article about them on sarbc.ru (looks like a Saratov official portal). the beatle 19:12, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
    • That's a local website. To be in Wikipedia, band should archieve at least some level of notability outside of their locality. And I wasn't able to find anything on that site (must be that horrible design). Grue 17:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I heard about the band. Maybe it's not that big, but still. I say weak keep or merge with smth similar. Anthony Ivanoff 21:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
