No references for this article. The fact that the band was allowed to exist during communism is notable only if reliable sources comment on that interesting fact. Otherwise, there are many interesting but non-notable facts. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:39, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as searches are still finding nothing better, delete until better is available if ever. SwisterTwister   talk  19:39, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you believe that the book search linked above finds "nothing better"? It finds a review in Eulenspiegel as well as coverage in quite a few books, although the extent of that coverage is unclear because in many cases Google Books only displays snippets. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete not notable enough. Daniel Kenneth (talk) 08:45, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as there are book and magazine sources, such as Eulenspiegel magazine, also found a page of excerpts of press coverage on their website linked in the article  but could not get them translated due to url problems, perhaps someone else can manage to translate them, just passes WP:BASIC Atlantic306 (talk) 03:04, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - if you can provide better sourcing to illustrate notability then I will pull my delete vote. DaltonCastle (talk) 00:17, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
 * By "better sourcing" do you mean better sourcing than is currently in the article or better sourcing than the sources that are mentioned above in this discussion? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:22, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

 * I must add that this band passes WP:MUSIC criterion 5 with two albums on the Amiga label, the monopoly label for popular music in East Germany. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:29, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep; I believe a lot of the "did a search, found nothing" results here are based upon looking for sources in English, rather than German, which one would expect the majority of the coverage to be in. While I don't think that Amiga records released during the DDR era are really what WP:MUSIC #5 has in mind, I think there's enough coverage available in the German language (including on their website's press section) to think that there is something notable here.
