NEXX

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Let's start by analyzing the sources:

Cruft, cruft, cruft,
Blog post, blog post, blog post, blog post, blog post, blog post
Tabloid trash and again (Libertatea is a tabloid, while ele.ro is a women's gossip rag)
Local paper announcing a concert

Well, we don't even have to dig further into the

WP:MUSICBIO criteria, because the article plainly lacks credible sources that would attest claims of notability. - Biruitorul ^Talk 15:24, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply

Impressive claims, to be sure. Present reliable sources, and they'll gain credibility. - Biruitorul ^Talk 04:24, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Much of the sourcing is quasi-primary and some of the secondary sourcing is bloggish in nature, but at least a couple of the sources are from acceptable secondary publications that represent reliable sources and it seems likely more could be found to further support notability.

May I ask you to elaborate on which sources strike you as reliable? - Biruitorul ^Talk 04:24, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - some sources are from reliable and acceptable grounds.--BabbaQ (talk) 09:56, 6 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep-Never heard of them till well now, but upon reading that they have had success, seems to be a keep! Wgolf (talk) 03:25, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- The above votes are basically instances of
  WP:ILIKEIT. Just which sources attest the band's notability - the cruft, the blogs or the tabloid gossip? - Biruitorul ^Talk 21:02, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply
