The saga of Misery (band) and Misery (Australian band) continues. I added the above tag to the Wikipedia article about the Australian band Misery that survived being nominated for deletion by myself. The article still has no citations that I can see.

The people who defended this article: A1octopus, Capitalistroadster, BrianFG, Hesperian, SatuSuro, Rocket000, Dihydrogen Monoxide, Twenty Years, Orderinchaos, GlassCobra, and ILovePlankton haven't found the time to go beyond giving their opinion and add some citations.

Perhaps they've been too busy making arguments about the sources of nominations as some of the above did. So we can gather from how this Afd played out that, a mindset of Wikipedia's editors is that it is perfectly normal to attack the source of a nomination. That the more important thing is, who makes a statement, not the statement itself.

We also have this from the apparent author of most of the article making an argument for why the page should not be deleted: "...unfortunately most of any reference material is offline and can't be linked but the discography is definitely not invented."

Since it was DEFINITELY not invented, I guess it stays. My band, Misery (band) is still doesn't have its article on Wikipedia, even though that article was DEFINITELY not invented. I still can't reconcile why one is toast, and the other is not? It might have something to do with different personalities fighting their little battles, not as an attempt to improve Wikipedia, but to try to prove something. Did I just write something ironic? Perhaps.
