The result was Speedy delete g1, patent nonsense, WP:BOLLOCKS, why is it that all of these hoax bios have someone getting injured in an unlikely kind of accident? It's no longer funny (if it ever was). NawlinWiki 23:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Suspected hoax: No singles called "These Faces Are A Changing", "Poodle Walk Blues" or "Molehill Riots"; no band called "The Iron Masons" — BillC talk 20:50, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - as a hoax. The band is allegedly a "hit" band with a meteoric rise to fame and a 42-year recording career yet there are no sources for the band, the albums or any of the band members and none of them rate even one relevant mention on an internet search. Then two of the three band members, now in their 60's, suddenly die in a combine harvester accident? What, they had retirement jobs in large scale agriculture? Nonsense. If we were to take this seriously it would still fail WP:MUSIC - it is not the subject of independent published works, did not have any hits or conduct any international tours, is not identified as a prominent representative of any musical style, has won no awards and the alleged musical output is not on high (or even low) rotation on any media.
