Delete - I am something of a scholar of Eastern European rock music during the Communist era (long story), and this band has an interesting tale of playing rock during the harshest years of Communist Poland. Unfortunately, unless their name has different spellings, I can find no reliable media coverage beyond their own websites. Online sources are highly unlikely because they were most active in the pre-Internet years, but I can also find nothing via Google Books, except for a few brief mentions in works about their hometown. Alas, their history will have to be written down elsewhere. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (

Keep You should have seen the Top 30 website (LP3) to get acquainted with their good chart results. There are some stories about them in the music press of these years (Non Stop, Magazyn Muzyczny), unfortunately I do not have access to them right now. Perhaps somebody can help with it. Besides, no, there's been only one spelling of the name, meaning in some convoluted way "A gentleman from the
UB (secret police)".

Redirect/Merge to "Rock music in Poland". Would hate to lose the history of this band 22:45, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
Comment. I listed the Polish version of this article on pl wiki's add. Let's way a bit, the odds are someone there can find better sources. The article was created there by a veteran Polish Wikipedian (but in 2007). The standards have risen and sources are required, of course. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Expertwikiguy, Sources have been added to Polish Wikipedia, although they are not very strong. Also please consider this new referenced section (machine translation from pl wiki b/c I am pressed for time): "In 1984–1985, a number of Mr. Zooba hit the hit list of Program Three (LP3). The greatest successes were achieved by: "A card for Waldek" (7 weeks on the list, 7th place achieved), and "A piece of flooring" (11 weeks, 8th place). The same list also includes the following compositions: "And I'm laughing out loud", "What are you staring at", "No, don't love me", "Just one step". In 1990, the song "Fala" debuted at the 50th position of LP3, but it did not appear in the following charts [3]. The song "I am waiting here" was more popular in 2007, and it managed to last for 11 weeks, reaching the 23rd place. [3] In the TOP20 list of Program III, the songs "A piece of flooring" and "A card for Waldek" were the greatest successes in the band's achievements, which scored 55 and 40 points respectively [3]." - perhaps it helps the band meet

Given the new source for top 30 track, I am striking my Delete, but I am not convinced enough this is a credible source to place a Keep. I will stay neutral.
