No significant coverage, no references, seems to be a solely promotional article. InvadingInvader (talk) 21:42, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not look notable. The article has no sources. I was also unable to find any significant coverage. Fifthapril (talk) 06:57, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I looked in the Swedish newspaper archives, and Lagoona were repeatedly hailed as pioneers, a phenomenon and the first Swedish band to truly make it online. They dominated the downloads in the late 90s. There's a row of longer articles about them, both in the dominating newspapers in northern Sweden (where they lived) but also in other parts of the country, with sustained interest over time; this was more than a local band. I've added a number of sources to the article. /Julle (talk) 00:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ping Fifthapril and Yüsiacı – I've added sources now. They are not openly available online, but anyone with access to sv:Mediearkivet (e.g. basically anyone connected to a Swedish university, or Swedish-speaking Wikimedians who have an account through Wikimedia Sweden) can access them. /Julle (talk) 00:27, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The band does seem to have had an influence on both modern Swedish music and its delivery. The reference problem is not completely solved, but that alone is not reason, at this point, to delete. They appear to have notability. --Bejnar (talk) 20:24, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's still plenty work left to do in the article, which wasn't solved just because I added references to key statements, but I think we have sources that prove notability, i.e. – as you say – the topic of the AfD conversation. (: /Julle (talk) 20:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
