Conquistador (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unsourced article about a band with no strong or verified claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. It claims hit status for one song -- but because musicians frequently claim "hit single" status for songs that actually weren't charting hits anywhere, we have to be able to reliably source that the song was actually a charting hit rather than just claiming it. And there's no other substantive notability claim here at all for anything other than the fact that they existed. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if it can be sourced properly. (Note that first discussion was about an entirely different band, so this is not eligible for speedy as a recreation of previously deleted content.) Bearcat (talk) 21:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Two hit singles, and four hit albums in the Netherlands, passes WP:NMUSIC. I would guess sources are more likely to be from Netherlands sources, but that's not a reason to delete. --Michig (talk) 08:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and Draftify No indication of notability due to lack of any sources, let alone viable ones... -- Hybris1984 (talk) 22:43, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Draftify, as it seems to pass WP:NBAND's 1-single-in-a-national-music-chart criterium (see Michig's comment), but lacks sources to support most of the information. At first I would have said "WP:G4 speedy delete", but the previous discussion was apparently about an American band of the same name. - HyperGaruda (talk) 10:57, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. If we can't source what's there we can reduce it to what's verifiable. We know the band had hit albums and singles, released 4 studio albums (2 on Philips - another pass of WP:NBAND by the way) and lots of singles. Clearly a big enough success in the Netherlands to justify inclusion. I see nothing wrong with a stub that simply states the facts that we can verify. It would be better for our readers to have that rather than nothing at all. --Michig (talk) 15:46, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per Michig. there is some info on the Dutch article, none of it is sourced though. Reduce to what's verifiable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:59, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Draft and userfy because both Wikis are not yet convincingly enough for a solid notable article. SwisterTwister   talk  06:49, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Can't find enough in-depth coverage to show they pass WP:GNG. Would not oppose it being moved to draft, if there is interest to improve the sourcing and content.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:38, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Draftify – Seems to be a good compromise for this particular article. North America1000 23:36, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
