didn't produce much - only Facebook and Twitter, which are not reliable sources. I would expect a notable band to produce far more than that. Meanwhile, I will check out with people who know more than me how significant the AIR Chart and Triple J are. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 20:26, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
"After a long battle with some guy at wikipedia I managed to convince him we are a real band" - actually, you only convinced me that if your claims were confirmed by a reliable source the band might be notable enough to have an article. But you haven't produced any sources, and the more I look the more I don't find anything but your Facebook page. I find it impossible to believe that a band with the achievements you claim, no. 1 singles and a released album, would not have some independent comment online, and I am seriously wondering whether the whole thing is a hoax. So I'm nominating the page at WP:Articles for deletion - formal notice below - which will get opinions from others. The discussion will last seven days, and then another admin will decide. You are welcome to give your opinion, and to edit the article if you have sources to add. JohnCD ( talk) 09:39, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy).

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stevo Maido. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
