Keep. The pre-generated source search links cited in the nomination are unsuitable for pages with parenthetical disambiguation - leaving out the "(band)" leads to far more results, although not all of them are relevant. Still, one can find that the two most important publications about this music genre in this country have asserted the band's notability in clear terms:

Sonic Seducer called Dance or Die "the well-known Berlin cult Electro [band]" [3]
Zillo remarked that their 2011 comeback after ten years would "let many electro fans rejoice" [4] and says that "in the 1990s, they formed the link between Gothic [rock] and Electro, and were a pioneer at that" [5].

I've added these two sourcs to the article. While WP:GNG is satisfied now, much of the article indeed remains poorly sourced; it can be assumed that most suitable sources are not available online, because the band had its heyday in the 1990s. Regards, HaeB (talk) 04:17, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination Withdrawn Well....I think the best thing for me to do at this point is just wipe the egg off my face.― Padenton|✉ 05:16, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
