Postolar Tripper

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No real assertation of notability. Only claim is that a song hit the charts of a teen show on HTV. Only one album, no reliable sources anywhere. (By the way, was this inspired by their song?) Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Chirps•Clams•Chowder) 01:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC. As a song writer I can't knock their song ideas, you gotta get that inspiration from somewhere!!!!!   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 14:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. They get >1500 Ghits, but most are not in English, so difficult to assess. We need to be careful of the bias in Wikipedia against articles with non-English-language coverage. Bondegezou (talk) 10:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - The topic may have non-english coverage, but it still fails to meet WP:MUSIC.  Black  ngold29   06:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. How can you know they fail to meet WP:MUSIC without understanding the non-English coverage? One can say there is insufficient evidence presented in the article (and obviously eventually the evidence has to be in the article), but it seems to me presumptuous to simply say that they fail WP:MUSIC irrespective of what this large volume of material may say. Bondegezou (talk) 16:05, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I can only base my decision on what is in the article, as I can only read english. If someone wants to translate and add a source to the article I will gladly withdraw.  Black  ngold29   18:03, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. You're right, the article is desperately poor. This is the page of their 1st album publisher "Menart" and little article abound the band. I can translate it. Do you want it here or straight to the article? Zenanarh (talk) 14:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just add it as a citation to the article.  Black  ngold29   22:03, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. WP:MUSIC: ...is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria... At the first sight Postolar Tripper meet the points 1,2,4,7,10,11. Zenanarh (talk) 17:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Actually it doesn't fail to meet WP:MUSIC. This band exists, they use some "peasant" local dialects in their songs, so therefore concentrated to the local music scene, anyhow quite enough known in Croatia with a few of their radio hits. Zenanarh (talk) 15:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Expanding on my earlier comments... Over 500 Ghits for their songs "Tužna priča o selu" and "Balada o Viliju i Vesni". Possible citations to consider:, , , , , Bondegezou (talk) 16:16, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. per Zenanarh. I have heard of them just a few times, but even so I can say they definitely don't fail WP:MUSIC. Admiral Norton (talk) 22:01, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY; references are needed, but Google shows enough hits on the obscure phrase that is the band's name to indicate notability. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 04:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for now. Has some sources, but it needs more with commentary of the subject.  These probably exist in Croation.  Give editors more time per WP:EP.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 13:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
