Non-notable band, unsourced since ever. I would PROD but an IP just started editing it again (which is why I remembered it existed) and would likely be a waste of time.

 * Keep per this Malay Mail article, which calls them the most successful band that has come from the skinhead community in the history of Malaysian popular music, sufficient to pass WP:BAND. Moreover, the band has 62 total hits on ProQuest, and while it's likely that many of those are only brief mentions, it's enough to show that they're well known in the region, and that detailed Malay sources are likely to exist.

 * Keep I'm the one who started the article. "Non-notable" where? There were popular and well known in Malaysia. Are they now? I don't know but that's not necessary for inclusion in Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a policy of trying to include topics left out due to systemic bias and, "They were popular in Malaysia, but who cares about that???" is the kind of systemic bias we should be working against here. I didn't add citations or sources when I started the stub: that was not common back then. I might try to do that now, or others can help. Interlingua (talk) 13:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep: Also some coverage in NME (which is considered a RS):, lesser coverage here  Oaktree b (talk) 21:39, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
