fails notability guidelines for bands. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみなさい, ping me when replying 02:58, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Netherlands. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみなさい, ping me when replying 02:58, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep: Clearly a WP:BEFORE search was not initiated as Google Books reveals several mentions of this band and their single "Poing" including the Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Popular Music of the World, Volume 11 and in Drum 'n' Bass: The Rough Guide. A Billboard article also described their single as a "genuine trendsetter". This is an easy keep for me. Why? I Ask (talk) 05:44, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Why? I Ask: that is not significant coverage. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみなさい, ping me when replying 06:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Cool, but it "addresses the topic directly and in detail", so it is. Why? I Ask (talk) 11:21, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * directly, sure, but that is not in detail. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみなさい, ping me when replying 12:37, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No, it is in detail. It's not just a single sentence, but a whole paragraph directly discussing its impact on gabber music. Why? I Ask (talk) 13:13, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * which one? please specify. lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみなさい, ping me when replying 14:34, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia; and not to mention that several reputable descriptions of the song "Poing" being notable basically makes it so. Why? I Ask (talk) 15:43, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * well, the bloomsbury encyclopedia is 936 pages long (according to google books), so a paragraph isn't much. and if the song is notable, then the song should have an article, not the band! lettherebedarklight, 晚安, おやすみなさい, ping me when replying 01:53, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No, because the band also had another charting single. The band and the song are both notable, but there is not enough content to justify a split. An entry in any encyclopedia, even as just a paragraph in a large one, is grounds for notability. There are also many news articles and other books in Dutch that may also be helpful, but are unreadable to me. FutureMusic also lists "Poing" as an influential song in gabber. Why?

 * Keep as passes WP:NMUSIC criteria 2 with chart hits in 3 countries and also has coverage in reliable sources identified above so deletion is unnecessary in my view Atlantic306 (talk) 19:27, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. While this is a one hit wonder, there is sufficient coverage for WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. The article is a fine stub. gidonb (talk) 00:43, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
