[edit] Gert Jonnys

I couldn't find anything under WP:MUSIC, and although the article creator claimed that it may be notable as an internet meme [1], I only got around 1,000 hits on Google that were barely related and got nothing on Alexa. Karmafist 21:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Nothing notable. Only 570 google hits for me. And absolutely zero Nexis hits. --Lord Voldemort (Dark Mark)|My RfA 21:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-informational. --Hoovernj 21:43, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Undecided. I will let you decide. I don't know how you're searching but I get 4.100 google hits [2]. Indeed, they're not famous for their music. I have seen their funny pictures on several internet forums, blogs, etc. And their internet cult status have gained attention in Swedish and Norwegian newspapers [3] [4].

  • Strong Keep It is a cultural and Internet phenomenon in Sweden. It is listed on the Swedish Wikipedia. We have millions of similar things about the US or the UK that we wouldn't delete because they seem relevant to many more of our users. But this article has value to people interested in Swedish popular culture and internet culture. I don't see the problem. Tfine80 00:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - as per Entheta's reasoning (even though that was for an "undecided" vote CLW 06:52, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep for now. In the future, consider a merge other Swedish "cult dance bands". // Fred-Chess 09:17, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Tfine80 and CLW (and indirectly Entheta). -- Uppland 10:00, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notability is not restricted to American groups of this kind.--Wiglaf 10:08, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
