Delete Lacks notability, also, most of the sources seem to be affiliated with the subject. RadManCF ☢ open frequency 19:55, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete this page. Stonefunkers were one of the early bands from Sweden that played "urban" or African-American inspired music. I have tried to use some other resources the the ones I first used.VsanoJ (talk) 22:26, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately the band doesn't meet the notability guidelines for an album. CTJF83 chat 06:16, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep They've actually attracted quite a lot of press, but it's obscured in a sea of bare URLs. Editing the references now to make it easier to see the outside ones.Yngvadottir (talk) 08:18, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - Stonefunkers has had three albums and two singles chart on the Swedish Singles Chart ([2]) and therefore meets WP:NM. In addition to this, the band has received lots of coverage: [3] (Svenska Dagbladet), [4] (Expressen), [5] (Svenska Dagbladet), [6] (Aftonbladet), [7] (review in Aftonbladet), to name a few.

- I trust your judgment on these sources that I can't read, so I'm willing to withdraw the nom, due to these sources. CTJF83 chat 17:23, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources found to meet the general notability guidlines, and have been in the charts to meet the notability guidelines of WP:MUSIC. Quantpole (talk) 15:15, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the sources found although the nom has agreed to withdraw. fetchcomms☛ 14:48, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
