What is "a real source"? Second, what would be need for it to be more notable? Its not enough that they created first diskmagazine for amiga? And lastly why does english Wikipedia have higher requirements for stuff? Its been on german wikipedia for 8 years and its not deleted. Sorry if these might seem stupid questions, but i've never really have edited other than finnish Wikipedia. Liggi953 (talk) 14:18, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The German article has a couple external links, but no citations. Outside of being an OTHERSTUFF argument, it's age is irrelevant. I was able to find some articles mentioning it, but nothing satisfying GNG. I think it's worth noting that Alpha Flight is a long running comic and the AFL abbreviation is shared by something that gets a lot more coverage. That, plus the pre-internet era of its activity, means sources will be difficult to locate. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:23, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Underground artists, by the very nature of their genre and scene, are almost impossible to reliably source. Without sources, almost anyone can claim to be famous in some obscure sub-genre and notability guidelines would be meaningless.  The other option is simply to remove them as unsourced, as in this case.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:49, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
