This article was prodded under A7, and the prod was removed without any explanation as to why it met the A7 prod criteria. I've performed a wp:before search, and cannot myself find indicia of notability under wp standards. Others are welcome to try. Epeefleche (talk) 01:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, agreeing with nominator, clear A7 violation. — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 02:00, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The usual search didn't turn much but these two items [1] [2] made it seem like they were notable, so I checked the RU and AZ articles with Google translate [3] [4], and then a couple of hits from a search in Russian [5] [6] [7] (note that Google translates "Qaya" as "Gaya" or "Gay" or "Guy"). It seems to me that this is a case of WP:FUTON, and of course I'd be great if someone who actually speaks Russian or is from the region could review the case - frankie (talk) 02:55, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Can you point us to substantial RS coverage? If it exists in what you pointed us to, I am missing it. Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:19, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For what I can see the quartet had a celebrity status on the 70s, so it just has to be verifiable. The same can be seen here [8], and this is their discography [9]. Also this scholar search [10] is very interesting, but following the hits is complicated - frankie (talk) 23:03, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
