After extensive searching, it appears that the subject of this article is non-notable. (The album links — and sheer volume of releases — should not be taken as indicative of notability either; they, too, suffer from a dearth of references and a lack of notability.)

 * Comment: If the article remains, I suggest that the releases perhaps be merged into a discography section or page or be listed, with a reference to the record label's site (which, hopefully, provides information about the year of release, the track listing, etc.). --Qwerty Binary (talk) 20:02, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Snow Keep, how did you do your searches? I know there are some false positives, at any rate these are a little portion of what I found at Google News archives: MTV, Il Giornale), Varese News, Musical News, La Repubblica, Milano Today, Il Corriere della Sera, Varese News again, La Stampa, Rockol, MB News, L'eco di Bergamo, Sky, Rockol again, TeleSanterno, La Stampa again, La Repubblica again. The Corriere della Sera defines the band as "the symbol of Italian punk music of the last 20 years" . Not to mention they have also multiple book sources, including an encyclopedia, Dizionario completo della Canzone Italiana by Enrico Deregibus.Cavarrone (talk) 07:17, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: I note that the article "Punkreas" is by and large a translation of the "Punkreas" article on the Italian localisation of Wikipedia. As it hasn't made too much of an international impact, I think that is where I take issue with the article; other things can be worked on. As for searching, I did what most would do, and that includes using those nifty quotation marks in those Google searches. --Qwerty Binary (talk) 18:53, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong keep per WP:MUSIC especially points 1 and 7 - notability isn't confined by national borders, they're clearly notable in Italy given the sources turned up by Cavarrone above (which should be included, especially the quote from Corriere della Sera). The article needs translating by an English speaker, but otherwise I'm not seeing any issue here.  ✤ Fosse   8 ✤  14:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: noted. I thought notability wasn't confined by geography but more so by culture at large (mostly language). It's good to know this, though! Cheers! --Qwerty Binary (talk) 06:04, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
