Fails WP:NBAND. Article was dePRODded after I put it up for PROD, with the editor adding two citations to demonstrate notability. However, I still feel the band fails notability: of the two citations provided, terra.com.co is an RS (part of Terra Networks), but I am unsure about the reliability of the Rockombia website. Even if you allow the latter source, all the two citations provide us with is the information that the band formed in 1997 and that they have released four albums, which isn't enough. The line-up changes and recording dates are all unverified, the albums were released on a local independent label, and the text is full of POV statements: the last line before the discography is a direct translation of the last line of the Rockombia biography, so it fails COPYVIO as well. All mentions of the band on the web appear to be from blogs and other non-RS sources. Richard3120 (talk) 17:54, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep thanks for telling me about this listing, I think the Rockombia cite is ok, at least it does not seem to be user or band generated. Sources are hard to find but in view of their performances at major music festivals  and youtube and other nonRs coverage there may well be off-line sources which perhaps some Columbian editors could provide. Agree that the article is not neutral but it can be rewritten leaving out any copyvio. Atlantic306 (talk) 18:26, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment: I checked the article's creator and found it was "Camilogomez", which just happens to be the name of the band's bass player, so that would probably explain the lack of neutrality. I'm a bit worried about not finding any off-line sources: Colombia's main newspaper, El Tiempo, normally archives articles on their website that date back to the early 1990s, but I can't find any mention of them on there. The YouTube videos that are available appear to be just their songs (no interviews or anything that gives details about the band), and the biggest music festival I can find that they've played at is Bogota's "Rock al Parque", which they appear to have played twice, in 1998 and 2012, but I can't find any reliable sources to confirm this, apart from this mention – Shock is Colombia's premier music magazine... but I can't tell whether this is user-generated content or not.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete at best for now instead as my searches have shown nothing noticeably better and the article is still overall questionable, Draft if needed until better is available. SwisterTwister   talk  05:01, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
