[edit] The Wungabongas

The Wungabongas (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Only real assertion of notabiliy that I can see in the article is that they appeared on Peel Sessions. However, no proof is given in the article, and I only get 5 ghits when searching for the full name - and no proof they ever actually were on Peel. No assertion in the article is verifiable from an independent third-party source - this is why we have WP:V and WP:NOR as 2 of our 3 core rules. This article fails all those, as well as being suspiciously close to WP:VSCA. I'll also assert it fails WP:N. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 17:47, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Delete Well, there is an additional assertion of notability in the international tour aspect, but the threshhold here, as the cominator notes, is verifiability. Omitting similar, there are only 12 google hits for the word Wungabongas, and nothing in it looks like a reliable source. Given that a search for the name of one of the participants, Giovanni Herst, brings back just Wikipedia, I begin to wonder if we aren't looking at a WP:HOAX. There's no mention of this band at the "website" of the record producer, What's Your Rupture. (The myspace link for the record producer is a bandsite.) If this is a real band, they don't seem to have received much press. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Delete - Not sure if it's a hoax or not, but there's certainly not enough here to sustain an article on a band. Even if the claims to notability could be properly sourced, I think it still falls a little short of the threshold for musical groups. ◄Zahakiel► 15:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
