No references of any kind - the musicbrainz reference is a mirror of the article. Rathfelder (talk) 22:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep. If the article contains no references, add a maintenance tag rather than wasting our time at AfD. Better still, search for sources yourself. You might have found this or this, for example, which confirms the band's hit records, or this which appears to state their biggest hit sold half a million copies,. --Michig (talk) 23:01, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Sadly there are many articles about bands which similarly have no references. This one has survived for 3 years in this state. Rathfelder (talk) 11:00, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * So improve it. AfD is not for cleanup. --Michig (talk) 12:14, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: I've added some very basic sources for the band's chart positions in France and Belgium – they need improving, but it demonstrates multiple charting in more than one country. According to the Infodisc website, their no. 1 record has a platinum certification, and the other three top ten hits were certified silver. And I don't see why the article could not be expanded to include information about Émile & Images, which is the addition of singer Émile Wandelmer to the existing Images line-up... they had another couple of chart hits and a gold disc certification from SNEP . It might not be easy to find in 2018, but you would think a band with a no. 1 single for 13 weeks would have had coverage in the French music press back in 1986.

 * Happy to withdraw my proposal. I think it now exceeds the basic minimum standard. Rathfelder (talk) 20:19, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
