Seems to meet none of the criteria in WP:BAND, and a Google news archive search turned up nothing. Alexrexpvt (talk) 01:40, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - After several source searches, not finding any coverage in reliable sources. This band also does not appear to meet any of the criteria at WP:BAND. Northamerica1000^(talk) 12:18, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Criterion N.9 - Has won or placed in a major music competition.

On June 2012 Junkyard 69 placed first among many Greek bands and won the MTV Greece competition,and achieved to be the first Greek hard rock act playin' at the Mtv festival,which is one of the biggest music festivals taking place in Greece.

Delete there seems to be only one good source and it is of questionable reliability. --Guerillero | My Talk 08:29, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Since the band won at the the competition that the Greek Mtv hosted,and also participated at the Mtv festival,it seems it meets at least one of the criteria,which is the one said before Has won or placed in a major music competition.

~~Mtv is worldwide known,and in Greece it hosts on of the biggest festivals every summer.~~ ~~So I see no reason to delete the article since it meets on of the criteria.~~ Except from the links above,which if you translate them from Greek to English,you'll see that they're good sourses,also found this article from the official Mtv Greece website,that proves that Junkyard 69 did won the competition and also open the festival. ~~I want to believe that this is considered as a reliable source...Just translate..~~

~~Also,if you google 'Junkyard 69',you can find many articles,interviews,images,reviews(most of them in Greek),~~ ~~and furthermore,all these links provided below,seem to be reliable sources that meet the criterion No.1 of WP:BAND~~ ~~Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself~~

Nikotinn has been blocked as a sockpuppet of JunkYard 69, who has already posted above. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:16, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Numerous non-reliable sources (blogs and interviews); article claims appaearance at an MTV Greece event, which is not a major competition. Fails ALL aspects of WP:NBAND (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So an MTV competition is not considered as a major music competition?

And why all these links,are not considered as reliable sources? --Nikotinn (talk) 23:00, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the links you are listing are user blogs and other non-news sources (Blogspot and forums are very rarely used as a source), the only acceptable blogs are news blogs from reliable news sources. Additionally, piling them all together confuses which ones are relevant to a certain sentence or paragraph. Video interviews are acceptable but, due to link rot, distorted quality or the video being removed, it's sometimes preferred that interviews are text. Please visit Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners to use ref tags which will organize the references better. It may also help taking a look at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Contact me at my talk page and I'd be more than happy to continue helping you. SwisterTwister talk 23:02, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
