Proably keep. For one, it does actually seem to meet WP:BAND#7. As for WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS, what we are looking for are media that have a named reviewer and a named editorial board, and preferably an existence dating back several years. DPRP seems to be such a source, and it dedicated an entire issue to Solaris in 2015. In addition, the same site wrote up a review later [1]. We also have these [2] [3]. For examples of media that do not look reliable, we have progarchives.com where the reviewers have nicknames: [4] [5] [6] [7] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geschichte (talk • contribs) 21 December 2023 (UTC)
Keep (but clean up significantly). From personal experience I can state that searching for Hungarian topics in English search engines is tough due to language inconsistencies, and it takes some extra work. In addition to some sources found by the previous voter, this band has extensive coverage in Hungarian media as a long-running band in that country, including during the Communist years (e.g. [8], [9], [10]). They can also be found in books that cover entertainment during the Communist years, such as Social Currents in Eastern Europe The Sources and Consequences of the Great Transformation (English) and After the Flood - Progressive Rock 1976-2010 (Hungarian). Their Hungarian WP article [11] is also much more informative than this one. If the English article survives this process, I volunteer to clean it up. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:30, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
