- Delete, article doesn't explain why the band is notable and the first four results on a [https://www.google.com/search?as_eq=wikipedia&q=%22Pig+with+the+Face+of+a+Boy%22&num=50 Google search] are the band's website, Facebook page, YouTube video and their blog, so it's unlikely that they're actually notable enough.

- Delete as mentioned as simply none of this suggests better satisfying the notability guidelines. SwisterTwister talk 05:55, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Keep, consider refocusing article and moving to A Complete History of the Soviet Union, Arranged to the Melody of Tetris. This is interesting. The band is a one-hit wonder: their first song, A Complete History of the Soviet Union, Arranged to the Melody of Tetris, garnered over five million Youtube views, became quite an Internet hit, and may well be notable enough for a standalone article (much like many of the songs listed at List of Internet phenomena#Music). However, per nom, it's not certain that the band itself meets Wikipedia's notability standards. Thus I suggest keeping the article, but seriously consider moving it and changing its focus to that one song. Chessrat (talk,contributions) 04:19, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'm far from convinced the song deserves its own article but anyone deleting this article should certainly quickly put the song on Internet Phenomena/music. Neutral on deleting this article. Blythwood (talk) 07:27, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- Do you have any reliable sources about the song besides YT stats and self-bragging? - üser:Altenmann >t 07:32, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- Self-bragging? I don't understand how you think I'm bragging? Confused here. Reliable sources about the song? It's referenced on plenty of websites; just try a google search. Don't know how many of those constitute reliable sources, though // The main issue with creating an article for the song is not finding sources; that's easy. The issue is proving that the song is notable enough for its own article. (and, if not, should it be given a section on List of Internet phenomena#Music?)

- Delete - Per WP:GNG and WP:BAND. While there are plenty of websites that you can visit to listen to their music, there doesn't appear to exist any secondary reliable sources that cover this band in-depth and to the point where no original research is needed to write an article on them (see significant coverage in WP:GNG). The closest sources I could find were [http://www.houstonpress.com/music/happy-birthday-tetris-7-covers-of-the-games-theme-6526794 here], [http://www.houstonpress.com/music/happy-birthday-nintendo-6-awesome-retro-game-covers-6527264 here], [http://technabob.com/blog/2010/08/10/the-tetris-theme-gets-lyrics/ here], and [http://www.lastampa.it/2014/06/07/multimedia/tecnologia/tetris-culture-il-gioco-pi-famoso-di-sempre-compie-anni-ALp5XFXfcNeeZzQ0TTrN4H/pagina.html here]. These sources cover Tetris and merely mention the band once - this is not in-depth coverage. I saw two sources within the article that looked promising, but [http://www.theskinny.co.uk/article/96356-pig-with-the-face-of-a-boy this source] just displays a blank page, and [http://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/comedy/pig-with-the-face-of-a-boy-the-girl-with-the-arms-made-from-marrows this] is a dead link. Hence this article fails WP:GNG. Looking at WP:BAND, it seems that this band does not meet any of the criterion listed (and note item #1). Hence I believe that this band also fails WP:BAND. This band may be gaining traction in the music world, but it is WP:TOOSOON for an article at this time. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:01, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
