Different Beat

Disputed PROD. PROD reason was: "no evidence this album exists, but I may have missed something. If it does exist then keep the article, the singer is more than notable. It was supposed to be released "in early 2008" according to some sources." PROD removed by the original editor, who coincidently is blocked until early January. I am requesting that this be deleted without prejudice for re-creation of a sourced article about this song. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:20, 7 December 2008 (UTC) Update: See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dancing To A Different Beat. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 15:03, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I will post an announcement of this on Talk:Michelle McManus in the hopes of finding sources.

delete without prejudice for re-creation of a properly sourced article indicating song's existence. - per me, the nominator. My hope is that this song has been released and I can request speedy-close/keep. However, an internet search didn't come up with anything. Help me out here folks. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:31, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per nom, and based on my Googling turning up nothing. Happy to change my !vote if this turns out not to be simply more Nimbley trollery, but I'm sceptical... Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 14:41, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closing notes. First, I'm the admin who declined to speedy delete this article under criterion G5: while Spainton (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is suspected of being a sockpuppet, he is not a sock of a banned user. However, the suspicion that he's a sock of a blocked user does call into question the good faith with which this article was created.

In addition to the searches done above, I also checked amazon.co.uk, which has no mention of the single. Accordingly, I agree that it does not exist.

I am closing this AfD and speedy deleting the article under criterion G3: "Creating new pages with the sole intent of malicious behavior." Based on another admin's block of Spainton, it is now abundantly clear that his edits have been of disruptive nature. —C.Fred (talk) 16:16, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
