Japunga[edit]

This article has no references and has a questionable external link to a Myspace page. The www.japunga.com website showed absolutely nothing except for an unhelpful Flash animation and a Google search returned only their albums. Also no hits in Google News. Two of the band members' articles are redlinked, one (Luke Lawrence) links to a motorcycle Grand Prix racer and one is unlinked. Although it 'received considerable airplay' on radio stations Triple J and Triple M, I couldn't find any mention of the band. In the three songs in the 'Discography' section, 'Beginnings' links to a disambig link, (which it isn't listed in), Light at Days End and Souls Conflicting have redlinks, possibly indicating they're hoaxes.

With this nomination, I'll also nominate

Light at Days End and
Souls Conflicting

because they haven't been notable recently, are hoaxes (redlinked) and have no references. ÆÅM «(fætsøn!) 11:13, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is mostly encyclopedic and subject appears to be notable. Long history of article suggests links are no longer good and need updating. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:47, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Japunga. These two support claims of airplay and charting [1] [2]. Two more links [3] [4]. Some quotes shown here indicate other reviews. Not quite enough in itself but should help, two albums on Modern Music (who have also released The Butterfly Effect, Small Mercies, The Red Paintings, Devolved, Amity Affliction, Melodyssey). As for the suggestion the albums might be hoaxes cos they have red links. Very odd leap there. Albums do exist. Notability is also not about recently. Redirect albums, no refs.

Keep the band for passing WP:MUSIC#C1, and merge the 2 albums per WP:MUSIC#Albums..."..with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article". Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 11:12, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
