The history of a band article on Wikipedia...
By this time it has become virtually impossible for any new article on this band to survive a deletion debate, even when they make the front cover of Rolling Stone, because the relentless use of Wikipedia for vanity has pissed the community off to such an extent.
The moral of this story is: Wikipedia is not a free webhost or a medium for advertising. Try to use it as such and it might just backfire.
