Dutch? I got the impression they were from all over the world. And since when were there ever six of them? Other sources give there as being only four, and this is backed up by a quick search on Google Images. -- Smjg 18:04, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
And I've always wondered why they're called "Vengaboys" considering that they're a mixed group. My first thought was that maybe "vengaboy" was a word with no direct connection to "boy", just as "talisman" isn't related to "man". Since then I heard on some television programme that they got their name from "venga" meaning "come" in Spanish or something, but didn't catch an explanation of the "boys" bit. Can anyone enlighten? -- Smjg 18:04, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I know it's been almost settled that "Vengaboys" comes from the spanish word "venga" meaning "come on", right? But that does not mean it has to be pronounced with a 'B' or that the name is 'commonly misspelled', as it's been written in the article recently. In the song "Ho Ho Vengaboys" the voices are chanting the name "Vengaboys" with a 'V', not a 'B', which I think indicates that is the correct, official pronounciation of their name! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.31.172.52 ( talk) 19:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
This is false info: V is always pronounced as "V" in Spanish. Sometimes B is pronounced as "V". I will take this info out: it is irrelevant anyway because the band pronounces "V" as "V". 02:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
They didn't sing on the songs, or at least Kim didn't, and she was the only one who seemed to 'sing'. It's not that uncommon really, especially with Eurodance acts, and not that unsurprising with the Vengaboys given that they also lied about where they came from.
Since the begining of the Vengaboyz, their whole history was a Lie, they even had to speak in English while they were touring in Holland so people Believed they were from all over the world...and they were just plain Dutch people wich were selected in auditions... so also this history of the Dj´s is fake... Well that´s Music INDUSTRY.... and of course they never song a song....all playback...
I also remembered some members were from Brazil. I got that information from the album jacket. Unfortunately a friend borrowed it and lost it. It also had an explanation that "venga" was meant to translate from Spanish to "revenge."

Venga in spanish means "come", of course... but it's like saying: "Venga aquí, por favor" ("Come here, please" -adressing courteously, because informal form would be: "Ven aquí, por favor"-) I think the real sense that the guest-singer meant is: "Come on!! Let's party!!". This "Venga" is often heard in lots of spanish songs. So, a real meaning could be "Come on!", "Get up!", etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.122.246.57 ( talk) 01:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
According to the "The Party Album" album cover the song "Up and Down" was co-written by Darman-Smith. This spurious reference to Gary Reddin (B.A. Mod) [whatever that means] is obviously a case of somebody abusing the honour policy utilized here at Wikipedia. It's people like this that give Wikipedia a bad name. Unless veification can be provided for this the moderators will be contacted.

I took out some unrelated babble about an Irish band called Beastmen that someone had tacked on to the bottom below the discography. It said: "Earlier this year the vengaboys helped Beastmen, a surf punk band in Ireland come out.

This article says that the group were best known for the hits Boom,_Boom,_Boom,_Boom and few other hits, but when it lists these, it does not mention what I would have thought were the two best known hits by the group in the United Kingdom - Up and Down and Kiss_(When_the_Sun_Don't_Shine) ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 09:58, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

A significant amount of this article appears to be promoting a seemingly unofficial Vengaboys museum, including the first paragraph. The curator of the museum is also listed as a band member, which seems bizarre. Does a museum/fan site even meet notability for the article? If it does, seems like a brief mention at most. -- Materra ( talk) 23:37, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
Looks like the text in the opening paragraph and website have been removed (thanks, anon!), but the museum curator is still listed as a band member and there's still a decent amount of text on it. Does the museum even meet notability requirements for this article in the first place? It looks like an unofficial fan project. -- Materra ( talk) 22:13, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Mentioning the so called "Vengaboys museum" is highly disputable. First of all, it's a fan made website, not a real museum (despite the narrative the creator trying to tell). Also things like a fireworks show in Ellington (population: 1600) or buying optical discs to save Vengaboys video files are not notable. It's heavily sensationalized by the creator of the website, who appears to be a fan of the group and trying to get them to come to his place. -- ChrisHamburg ( talk) 11:31, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
Even if the article is not part of the band's name, how are they referred to commonly? Allmusic uses "the Vengaboys" on most mentions; references and press citations at the official website seem to be a mixed bag. Can anybody find something authoritative about the usage? — C.Fred ( talk) 20:02, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
Ellington Vengaboys Museum has recently received certification from New York State to be a genuine virtual museum recognized as a virtual museum by the state of new york. (Yes virtual museums do indeed exist [1]) A video of this certificate and letter that came with it will be published soon to Ellington Vengaboys Museum. Also Vengaboys have also acknowledged the museum exists themselves [2]. This museum is waiting upon more mentions of its existence by Vengaboys themselves before attempting to get it into the Vengaboys wiki article because some strict wiki editors believe it is not notable and won't lift a finger to say the contrary without multiple orders from Vengaboys themselves signed in triplicate, sent in, sent out, subjected to public enquiry, lost, found, lost again, found again, and then finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters. - Signed: Ellington Vengaboys Museum Curator — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.69.123 ( talk) 21:15, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

if news or magazine mentions is all the Museum needs to meet notability requirements, How about these then, Chris Hamburg thought none of these (which are all news stories and interviews etc. that mention the museum) were good enough to make it notable because he said "Yes, and assumably all of those writers used the Wikipedia article as their source. And not a single writer checked the facts properly, the museum is only a website, and not a real museum" (contact Chris Hamburg on this too)...

If the last one is not independent verification, how about any of these? All of these news reports on vengaboys mention the Museum at one point, if any of these do meet the criteria, we will wait until the curator gives the greenlight to mention the museum in the article after the new museum is launched TBA...

Moderators: you may want to keep a eye on this page because you may have to deal with a Museum CULT LEADER!! I have heard rumors from top level vengaboys fans about "The Vengaboys Museum" Curator planning a massive return of Vengaboys Museum and plans to get it on Wikipedia again too and have it so that it can't be censored easily... the fans i got this info from claim to personally know the curator and they claim the curator's Museum was attacked and shutdown by governmental forces because he holds knowledge on the proof of existence of Extra Terrestrial Life, some 9 crystals and some floating island and some weird stuff that can perform instant exorcisms called orgonite, and a whole lot of other weird stuff and he claims to say that an evil organization controlled by hostile reptilian extra terrestrials that controls most of this planet known by some as the Khazarian Mafia used paid trolls on not just Wikipedia but many places to attack and censor his Museum to prevent Vengaboys from Coming to Ellington because there they might see something the governments don't want people to see... recently he claims the governments pulled off a massive fake DMCA attack against his museum on YouTube, Facebook, weebly, twitter etc... and also had google remove as many traces of his museum as possible, and i think this guy is not bluffing, search for the museum on google and you get "nothing" nothing at ALL!! and my friend said the curator is planning a massive return for his museum when he launches Museum 2 and Wikipedia will be affected by it too and it will be very hard to censor when the time comes and also he intends to contact Vengaboys themselves and spread the knowledge so they will know about how the government censored him too... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.75.151 ( talk) 22:30, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Rumors exist among vengaboys fans that the vengaboys museum curator is going to do a actual video interview with Vengaboys themselves where many fan questions will be answered, Would a actual Video Interview being done by Vengaboys Museum and it's staff involving the REAL members of Vengaboys themselves answering many fan questions about Vengaboys be valid enough to pass to the official vengaboys wikipedia page for Vengaboys history on their official wiki page in 2018 - 19? I assume it would be because it would be a primary source coming right from the members mouths.
PEER REVIEW NEEDED on this question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.68.10 ( talk) 16:21, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
The museum curator would be the one filming the video and asking the questions and you would mainly see video footage of Vengaboys themselves answering the questions as the curator read them off in the background, due to a exclusivity agreement between the museum and vengaboys management, the video would be published through the internet archive and the official museum page on Youtube similar to how the uncle john not filmed in jamaica video was published to the museum's official page on youtube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.68.10 ( talk) 19:26, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
i thought i would post this here for editors to see, i heard from Vengaboys that supposedly Ellington Vengaboys Museum and Vengaboys are working on a sort of self published Vengaboys wiki they are calling the Hitchhikers Guide to the Vengaboys because they say "Fake-apedia keeps having counter productive edit wars that remove any new official information that comes out about Vengaboys" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.73.26 ( talk) 00:18, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

if news or magazine mentions is all the Museum needs to meet notability requirements, How about these then, Chris Hamburg thought none of these (which are all news stories and interviews etc. that mention the museum) were good enough to make it notable because he said "Yes, and assumably all of those writers used the Wikipedia article as their source. And not a single writer checked the facts properly, the museum is only a website, and not a real museum" (contact Chris Hamburg on this too)...

Would this count as independent verification of their museum... http://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/other/Vengabus-is-coming/articleshow/47167029.cms — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.71.204 ( talk) 21:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
If the last one is not independent verification, how about any of these? All of these news reports on vengaboys mention the Museum at one point, if any of these do meet the criteria, we will wait until the curator gives the greenlight to mention the museum in the article after the new museum is launched TBA...

The Virtual Museum is only being updated to a new major revision which drastically improves it over the first edition content and scale wise, My Museum is one of a few in existance now that has been tied to the Address of the town of Ellington, NY itself (yes such a thing as a town address exists) and vengaboys opted for a virtual internet based only museum because the costs of running a physical museum usually exceeds $500,000 a month due to the bureaucracy involved in Physcial Museum Accreditation. - Cam — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.71.204 ( talk) 01:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
Moderators: you may want to keep a eye on this page because you may have to deal with a Museum CULT LEADER!! I have heard rumors from top level vengaboys fans about "The Vengaboys Museum" Curator planning a massive return of Vengaboys Museum and plans to get it on Wikipedia again too and have it so that it can't be censored easily... the fans i got this info from claim to personally know the curator and they claim the curator's Museum was attacked and shutdown by governmental forces because he holds knowledge on the proof of existence of Extra Terrestrial Life, some 9 crystals and some floating island and some weird stuff that can perform instant exorcisms called orgonite, and a whole lot of other weird stuff and he claims to say that an evil organization controlled by hostile reptilian extra terrestrials that controls most of this planet known by some as the Khazarian Mafia used paid trolls on not just Wikipedia but many places to attack and censor his Museum to prevent Vengaboys from Coming to Ellington because there they might see something the governments don't want people to see... recently he claims the governments pulled off a massive fake DMCA attack against his museum on YouTube, Facebook, weebly, twitter etc... and also had google remove as many traces of his museum as possible, and i think this guy is not bluffing, search for the museum on google and you get "nothing" nothing at ALL!! and my friend said the curator is planning a massive return for his museum when he launches Museum 2 and Wikipedia will be affected by it too and it will be very hard to censor when the time comes and also he intends to contact Vengaboys themselves and spread the knowledge so they will know about how the government censored him too... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.75.151 ( talk) 22:30, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
I did some research on the Khazarian Mafia and the info from this page is quite disturbing and scary...

is Google a good enough peer reviewed source for Vengaboys Museum? I'm talking this link here confirming it's existence

Rumors exist among vengaboys fans that the vengaboys museum curator is going to do a actual video interview with Vengaboys themselves where many fan questions will be answered, Would a actual Video Interview being done by Vengaboys Museum and it's staff involving the REAL members of Vengaboys themselves answering many fan questions about Vengaboys be valid enough to pass to the official vengaboys wikipedia page for Vengaboys history on their official wiki page in 2018 - 19? I assume it would be because it would be a primary source coming right from the members mouths.
PEER REVIEW NEEDED on this question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.68.10 ( talk) 16:21, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
The museum curator would be the one filming the video and asking the questions and you would mainly see video footage of Vengaboys themselves answering the questions as the curator read them off in the background, due to a exclusivity agreement between the museum and vengaboys management, the video would be published through the internet archive and the official museum page on Youtube similar to how the uncle john not filmed in jamaica video was published to the museum's official page on youtube. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.68.10 ( talk) 19:26, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
i thought i would post this here for editors to see, i heard from Vengaboys that supposedly Ellington Vengaboys Museum and Vengaboys are working on a sort of self published Vengaboys wiki they are calling the Hitchhikers Guide to the Vengaboys because they say "Fake-apedia keeps having counter productive edit wars that remove any new official information that comes out about Vengaboys" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.73.26 ( talk) 00:18, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Does the peer reviewed source have to come from the mainstream media like CNN, MSNBC etc. Instagram does not meet the strict mainstream media published article peer reviewed only criteria!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 40.142.129.169 ( talk) 22:03, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
Since almost every part of this article says Citation Needed.
Should the Vengaboys Page be scheduled for deletion?
it would have to be massively rewritten to get credible sources on everything that says citation needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.130.80.143 ( talk) 19:45, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Ok, who wants to do the repairs?
