translation of German wikipedia page
editHi folks, this is a translation of the German wikipedia page, which I have updated and expanded. I'd like to work on this article and expand it further. But first I'd like to know that it can be published on wikipedia. There appears to be an article under this name that was removed 15 years ago. I'm not certain it was about this band, and I don't know why that article was removed. That removal message points me to administrator Gogo Dodo, but he hasn't responded to my inquiry (yet). Could an administrator advise me about this new article? Snowflakedivertor (talk) 15:59, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
notability
editThe WP:NMUSIC guideline tells me that for notability the band has to "meet at least one of the following criteria". I believe this band fulfills the following notability criterion:
5. Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
10. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as ... inclusion on a notable compilation album.
For point 5: the band released 4 albums on Höhne Records, and this is simply verifiable on Discogs (citation provided). Höhne Records was established in 1991 and is still operating; it has released records from other notable punk bands, some of which have wikipedia pages. This label is well-known in the German punk scene, and has a wikipedia page of its own.
For point 10: I've listed in the introduction the most significant compilations the band contributed to. These were albums that were released again by important punk labels -- in the case of Amiga, even a major label -- and distributed across Germany.
The band has been discussed in an independently researched biography, as well as several recent books on German punk that are independent of the band. I've put those citations at the top of the article. Their albums have been reviewed by Ox Fanzine, a well-known magazines associated with German punk. The band has also been discussed in a number of historical articles, because the East German punk movement contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Snowflakedivertor (talk) 11:37, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
