Mojiganga (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article has no independent, verifiable, reliable references to assert notability. There is a conflict of interest on the edits by a band member. Article was PRODed and PROD notice removed by said member, so to AfD we go. Now is the time for adding proper sources before the AfD expires Alexf(talk) 23:02, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

 * hi, as you are knowledgeable about Colombian music could you please help with the notability assessment here - there does seem to be rs coverage but is it significant? regards Atlantic306 (talk) 22:53, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep There seems to be a big COI issue here, but the band is clearly notable. Recent newspaper publications (from the last 12 months) describe the band as prominent and influential over the past couple of decades: 1 (No se puede hablar del rock colombiano sin mencionar a Mojiganga), 2 (la emblemática banda colombiana Mojiganga), 3 (A la hora de repasar la historia del ska-punk colombiano, la influencia de bandas como Los Elefantes, Skampida o La Mojiganga es innegable), 4 (Una de las bandas más importantes de Medellín está de regreso: La Mojiganga). Some of these RS have already been incorporated into the refs, so the article just needs some cosmetic cleanup. Neodop (talk) 00:45, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep have looked through the additional references detailed above and found references 1 and 4 to be significant content about the band in reliable sources so they do pass WP:GNG and the article has been improved with the addition of reliable sources reference so the need for deletion has been lifted, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 19:21, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 22:18, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: needs a big overhaul and much better references (there are really only two decent in-depth references from Colombian newspapers). But is correct, El Espectador and El Colombiano are two established and respectable newspapers in Colombia and count as reliable sources. This band is indeed one of the best-known groups in its genre in the country and I suspect there may be further coverage in old copies of Shock, Colombia's main (only?) music magazine (although I have no idea where to look for back issues to verify this). It's always incredibly difficult to find good reliable sources for Latin American bands and their music, as the region simply doesn't have the tradition of music magazines and in-depth reviews, articles and criticism that the UK and USA/Canada are used to.
