The Applejacks (NL band)

Declined speedy. I have done no research on this, but I think a Dutch opinion would help decide what to do. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 23:31, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

In the Netherlands, the band isn't just another teenage band. Their song was covered by Acda en de Munnik, who are really famous in the Netherlands. And the song is in the movie 'Lover of Loser', which is a big production. The most of their clips on youtube are more popular than the clips of the other two AppleJacks. On Google the applejacks band from the netherlands is more searched than the other two AppleJacks. The dutch Applejacks also performed at wel-known stages, like The Melkweg, Patronaat, P60, Ancient Belgique. I know that this band isn't really known in countries outside the Netherlands, but that shouldn't mean that the band can't be on Wikipedia, right? -  2 June 2009 Vincentvano


 * Delete - Not a Dutch opinion here, however I did search for ("The Only Thing You Need" "Lover of Loser") checking for anything with the song and the upcoming film title and for ("The Only Thing You Need" "Acda en de Munnik") with the more popular band with the song title and found nothing. Both searches were web and news searches.    Also searching for ("The Applejacks" dutch) and ("The Applejacks" Netherlands) brings up one hit from 2006, two years before the band formed according to this article.  Also their first album is not released until the end of 2009 and I see no indication of anything that would meet WP:MUSIC as inclusion criteria.--kelapstick (talk) 19:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Cavalry, here's a Dutch opinion: Houwe! OK, I want to vote weak keep, and not just cause, you know, Amsterdam is the greatest city in the world, and ANY band from Amsterdam is by definition notable. Just ask User:ChildofMidnight about Claw Boys Claw. Well, they won a somewhat notable contest and are finalists in a pretty notable contest. That's the best I can do right now--I've added some relevant information to the article. Vincent, the problem is lack of coverage--nothing in De Volkskrant, nothing on http://www.vpro.nl or http://3voor12.vpro.nl/index.jsp, nothing in www.popinstituut.nl. It's too early for *ahem* them. If they win The Next Stage it might be different. Give the references from your (local) newspaper! Document this stuff! An article without references, from a foreign country with a different language, on a new band, usually that's a losing proposition. Add verified information to the article or put the links or bibliographic information on the article's talk page. Is there a record deal, BTW? En succes in de Melkweg; ik duim voor je. Hey Admin, if the decision is to delete, please userfy to me or to Vincent. Drmies (talk) 05:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I've never heard of this band, and I suspect they are just as notable as Claw Boys Claw, in which case I think its clear what needs to be done with their article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:23, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Comment If any proof of the band appearing on a national chart is found, it would be a keep. If not, possibly delete.-- The Legendary   Sky Attacker  23:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
