[edit] Neschastny Sluchai

Neschastny Sluchai (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Subject appears to be a non-notable band. (adding) This was speedy tagged, but seems like there's an assertion of notability, albeit without sources, so I have brought it here instead. - Jehochman Talk 17:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC) (added at 18:27, 23 November 2007 (UTC))

Keep. It would appear that from the way it is written, but a google search turns up LOTS of notablility-establishing links, including:[1] and[2]. There are likely MANY more russian language sources too, but I don't read russian. If they get this much press in English, the likely existance of russian language sources would indicate notability in spades.--Jayron32|talk|contribs 18:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: transcript in Russian is "Несчастный Случай". Please remember that millions of google-links don't make the crappy article any better. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 00:30, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I would agree with that statement 100%. However, the existence of real, reliable sources like the two English langauge source I directly cite above WOULD make this crappy article better. I am inclined to believe that since such sources exist in English, they are more than likely to exist in Russian as well. The use of Google to find reliable sources does not invalidate the content of those sources merely because they were found using Google. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 00:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. Being Russian, I know this band and its leader (Aleksei Kortnev) very well. I can even say its one of my favourite bands. I attempted to find English-language sources. One doing so should remember that there are numerous ways to transcribe the band's name. The English for Несчастный случай is The Accident and I found a few Google hits for that. Possible English names include Neschasty-Neschastni-Neschastij-Neschastniy/Sluchay-Sluchi-Sluchai-Sluchaj etc. Here's what I found: [3], [4], [5]. I also found that there is enough sources for Aleksei Kortnev's separate page. --Yury Petrachenko (talk) 11:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
