Non-notable Russian band. This could probably have gone under G11, but am bringing here for a more thorough discussion. KDS4444^Talk 15:12, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Obvious T***l AfD request keep Arved (talk) 09:54, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

I've struck your comment - Please comment on the article not the contributor!, If I see you make another attack like that again I'll have you blocked. –Davey2010^Talk 00:17, 15 February 2016 (UTC)`

I didn't comment on the contributor but on his contribution. The Article exists in 18 languages. So it does not require much research to gasp that the band is notable. The AfD-originator was on a crusade on that day with several similar worded AfDs without substance. Arved (talk) 11:31, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Either way it's still commenting on the contributor, If it's notable then it's the "!Keepers" job to find sources .... Not !vote on the basis of "it's a troll afd", Again I've struck your !vote as replacing the letter O with an aterisk isn't any better ...... Just overwrite your !vote with sources..... –Davey2010^Talk 12:35, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Well obviously it is not so obivious what is wrong with this AfD, The band was an ESC contestant, is frequently touring the US and Europe; Played at the last Olympics in Sochi. Has Press coverage (Just click on the link above) and even has a bar named after the band. And he claims it is "non-notable". The Contributor obviously has not even read the article before putting it on Afd. How do you call this? Arved (talk) 17:32, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

• Mumiy Troll has represented Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2001. It is quite popular in Russia and is definitly notable. — Ace111 (talk) 22:44, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
