The result was keep. Fully recognizing nom's concerns, NBAND requires some "leniency" for other countrys sometimes - and the pre-internet age of this band appears to make ref's challenging. However, consensus appears to keep - regardless of provocative statements by IP (non-admin closure) ES &L 11:04, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kind of surprised to find an article on a band that has been on Wikipedia since 2006 without a single source attached. I just did a bit of a search and did not come up with anything that looked like a reliable source describing this band in any detail. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:45, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beeblebrox, did you ever come across this link: http://216.246.97.58/~adobo/l-a-chika-introvoys/ - this TV show is part of an international network called TFC. If this is indeed a reliable source, then you would have to accept it (Introvoys) as a notable article - one that is linked to topics such as "Chot Ulep", "Raincrowd", etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C:4D80:A6:F5B5:EA9B:15B0:2A38 (talk) 06:24, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well first off I think it likely that you are User:Raincrowd and you are evading your block. Secondly, get over yourself. The fact that it is "linked" to you is not an indication of notability, and the purpose of Wikipedia is not to tell the whole world how awesome you are. There's a place for that, it's called facebook. Look into it. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:59, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So you're saying "Introvoys" IS "notable"? You're not "evading" this issue, are you? 2601:C:4D80:A6:94C:3648:79F9:EF75 (talk) 07:28, 18 September 2013 (UTC) Chot Ulep[reply]

Keep. Find sources --> News link above shows plenty of potential sources. –H T D 09:26, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would you care to make at least one specific example? That would really help in evaluating the strength of your argument. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:59, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While it's a pity all of the Google News links above are dead (lol), since this band's heyday was before the internet. Although there's one reference that is usable immediately below. It says "One of the 90’s most prolific Filipino rock bands." If that doesn't pass WP:MUSIC, I dunno know what is. –H T D 18:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's another reference: http://www.balita.com/introvoys-to-rock-noypitz-in-one-night-for-a-cause/ 2601:C:4D80:A6:94C:3648:79F9:EF75 (talk) 07:28, 18 September 2013 (UTC) Chot Ulep[reply]

References added. 64.134.66.95 (talk) 22:50, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that the band won quadruple platinum. If we can get a cite for this, this will be saved. When were they awarded? This was in 1995, so if we can pinpoint a month, I can perhaps a newspaper article from a the Google Newspaper archive. –H T D 18:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that if you think this edit constitutes adding references that you need to review what is and is not a reference, and further what is and is not a free image per policy on commons. Screenshots of copyrighted material are not references, they are a mess that now needs to be cleaned up. See WP:REF and WP:RS for information on sourcing an article. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:55, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The references are piss poor (actually the article too) but you (the anon) can add newspaper articles as references even if they don't exist online. The Balita one is a saver and can be used. –H T D 18:48, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The band was indeed notable during the late 80s. However, being of pre-Web fame, finding reliable sources is a bitch; I still have old copies of 1980s - 1990s Jingle music magazines that may yield references about the group. Will plug it in when I find those.— •KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ• ^Speak! 04:14, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep David Gonzales has written up three of their releases at allmusic [1][2][3] (says "1994's big hit, 'Line to Heaven'..."). The google books results show they were familiar to Maximum Rocknroll and some Filipino sources. I'm satisfied they are notable, though from a predominately offline time & place. 78.19.91.239 (talk) 01:18, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This band is notable enough to be in Wikipedia but needs to be improved.Allenjambalaya (talk) 14:37, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Covered in several sources, albeit pre-internet ones. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:06, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
