This was created but not used. I have no idea why. It seems pointless. -- Samuel Wantman 10:11, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Although... Spinal Tap certainly fits the bill... -Kbdank71 18:12, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Rename as Category:Fictional musicians and musical groups. Not only Spinal Tap, but also Bad Taste, The Rutles, Hornets Attack Victor Mature, and numerous other "bands". A case could also be made for the likes of The Archies, The Wombles, and even (possibly) The Monkees. Grutness|^hello? 06:24, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Rename, as above. I can think of a couple of others such as the Be Sharps and the Band With Rocks In. Radiant! 10:53, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
Comment. "Fictional music groups" should be those that appear exclusively in books, films, etc. Spinal Tap had real people (under assumed names), sang real songs, and had real tours. So it may have begun as a fictional group, but it became real once they stepped started to do real things. Likewise the Monkees. -Willmcw 23:40, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
