The result was keep. See if you can improve it first, even using German sources with a translator. Just because it's not notable in your own language or your own music charts doesn't mean it's not notable at all and doesn't deserve an article in this language Wikipedia. Besides, Germans read English Wikipedia and vice versa :-)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep the German Wikipedia article here has a lot more references and also indicates that their albums have charted on the German national charts which would be a pass of WP:NMUSICBIO criteria 2 (only one criteria needed). It's a weak keep because I don't know much about German music sources or German charts, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:37, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak delete Just about notable in German (3 singles charting in lower reaches for 1 week), so they are a thing. But notable in English? No. Where do we draw the line when we 'import' notability? A band that has charted in Serbia? Nepal? Or only a G20 country? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:47, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I agree with poster above, German article is well referenced, even if the references are in German. Deathlibrarian (talk) 12:52, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep The band passes WP:NBAND crit 2 and there's enough coverage for WP:GNG. I have also found these: 1 and 2 and 3 (this one is quite long). Plus the links in the German Wiki (not all of them - some are not passing the requirements). Notability is not determined by the language of the sources, but by the amount of coverage in any language in all the media passing WP:IRS. Best, Less Unless (talk) 15:43, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
