PRODDED for lacking sources. DePRODed by another editor who added a single source. Apparently no other RIS to be found. Therefore fails WP:ARTIST. Mccapra (talk) 04:53, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep WP:BAND recommends notability for bands be judged by: "Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country" -- check (which presumably also satisifes the other criteria of "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart"; "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels" -- The Finnish Wikipedia article on one of their albums here tells us it was released on EMI, other albums would need to be checked; "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style" -- it needs sourcing, but the article says "They are renowned for a distinguished style with heavy basement jazz influences." As for sources, the second page of a Google search on the band's name gives me this at TV Finland and the third page this at MTV Finland. It is also a well written article that it would be a shame to lose. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:18, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I have added these sources to the article. -Lopifalko (talk) 05:47, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: lots of charting records in Finland, both singles and albums, two gold discs ... clearly a popular group in Finland and easily passes WP:BAND. Richard3120 (talk) 20:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: I'd also add that they pass criterion 5 of WP:BAND as well... they were signed to EMI Records for 18 years, during their greatest period of success, and since 2010 they have been signed to a Finnish label which is a fully-owned subsidiary of Sony Music. With so many top 20 singles and albums over the last 30 years, it would be amazing if there weren't any print sources in Finnish, if not online ones. Richard3120 (talk) 21:23, 13 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep - In agreement with the previous voters. The article could use some improvement but the band has clearly had several charting records in their country and reliable media notice in that country's media. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 17:11, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep passes both criteria 2 and criteria 5 of WP:NMUSIC regards, Atlantic306 (talk) 18:12, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
