Fails WP:BAND and indeed WP:V - no reliable third-party sources exist documenting the band's alleged successes. I checked in both languages, and the only mentions were in blogs, forums and the like. The only exception was an article from this summer in a newspaper from the provincial city of Suceava, noting that they'd made a big splash at a concert there, but that's not really enough to satisfy our policies.

Keep seems to be issues that can be solved by some editing and some sourcing along the way.--Judo112 (talk) 15:26, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you elaborate? Like I said, we have no reliable sources from which to expand. We have a record of one performance, which does not satisfy WP:BAND, point 4 ("Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country" - the Suceava performance was not, as far as we are told, part of a tour), or WP:GNG ("significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - a paragraph in a local newspaper is not "significant coverage"). - Biruitorul ^Talk 15:34, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:Band criterion 9, they have reached at least the semifinals in at least two Romanian music competitions. I added this info to their page with appropriate references. They also have significant coverage in their home country here. J04n(talk page) 16:57, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Elaborating on the above, here's a link to an article about them getting semi-final in that specific competition mentioned on the page. [1]. The fact that this is up for deletion is a joke, everything in the article is factual. Do your own research before marking it for deletion. Sure, the article needs sources, but deletion? Absolutely not. This extensive coverage as found on Google News also qualifies the band for WP:Band criterion 1. 72.194.105.63 (talk) 00:05, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Easily passes WP:BAND both in terms of media coverage and placing in the Eurovision nationals. -Kieran (talk) 06:34, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep as they seem to have gotten significant coverage now. ArcAngel (talk) 19:57, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm having problems reading the sources, but they do appear to cover the band in enough detail for an article to be written. WP:V and WP:N appear to be met. Hobit (talk) 13:15, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Eurovision --AStanhope (talk) 16:08, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
