 * Delete - the article isn't a strict BLP, so the nomination rationale is insufficient; however, I can't find anything on the web to suggest this band is notable. None of the members appear to be notable, the band hasn't released anything notable, there's no WP:RS in the article or in a web search... Thus, I believe this fails WP:BAND and WP:GNG, unless any Indonesian sources turn up to persuade me otherwise. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 13:24, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: Per a simple Google News search. SL93 (talk) 03:28, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * As I've said in a related AfD, just linking that isn't a help to non-Malay speakers. Which sources of those are reliable ones? Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 08:14, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I only understand English, but I can run Google translate which is able to show if a topic is notable although the translations are bad. I might do that, but wouldn't it make sense for the band to be notable if the movie that is based on the band is notable? SL93 (talk) 14:42, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * That's an interesting question, and one I don't have a policy-based answer to either way - but there must be one somewhere. It's easy to find the volume of coverage in foreign language sources, which isn't what I was querying: my question was based on which sources are reliable.

 * Keep: English article, 309 results from Kompas (one of, if not the, leading newspapers in Indonesia), several thousand from Tempo (a leading magazine, including a fairly in-depth article; much of the later pages look like mentions in "further reading" type deals)... )... as much as I hate to admit it (I don't like their songs one bit), they've reached national popularity. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:03, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: Google News only collects news website references so with 10 pages that are only about the band, it should be safe to assume that notability is shown. SL93 (talk) 15:05, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - notability has now been established to my satisfaction. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 15:28, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have expanded the article from sources. Notability should be clearly shown now. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:11, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
