Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canadian Bush Party
To be fair, this was created at a very different time in Wikipedia's history; there was a time when all it actually took to get a band's article kept was the ability to nominally verify (e.g. via their own primary source web page or a fansite) that they actually existed and weren't a total hoax — but we didn't yet know what we know now about how some people ''created'' primary source webpages to "verify" the "existence" of a hoax.  quite rightly has been tightened up a lot since then, however, and nothing here meets the standards that apply today. (To answer Layla's question, ''lots'' of old articles are lingering around that fall on the wrong side of the inclusion rules as they stand today — but they can't actually be listed for deletion until somebody ''notices'' them.) In a ProQuest search, I found ''zero'' |reliable source coverage to salvage this with; the ''only'' hit I got, in fact, was referring to the generic concept of a party in the Canadian bush, not to a band named "Canadian Bush Party". And WaybackMachine appears to have archived ''only'' the front splash page and not any of the site's former content — so there isn't even any content ''there'' for us to run through the bullshit detector, such as "the band toured across Canada as an opening act for Young Canadians" or some other statement we could empirically test for verifiability. Under NMUSIC as it stands in 2016, there's just no notability here ''regardless'' of whether this was a hoax all along or just a local band that never achieved anything noteworthy — if they did exist, then it's not our role to ''rectify'' the historical undercoverage of under-the-radar bands in under-the-radar genres if we have to rely on deadlinked Geocities fansites as the "notability" because real media coverage just wasn't there, and if the Geocities fansite was bullshit all along then it's not our role to promote or aggregate hoaxes
