Band sources

To counter any allegations of lack of nontrivial sources in previous AFD I have classified the reliable sources to show which ones are nontrivial. These ones are certainly non-trivial mentions and reliable sources! Quote from them so people know of the significance...

There was an article at:

http://www.nnn.de/nachrichten/home/top-thema/artikel/vor-30-jahren-wurde-der-c64-praesentiert.html - Vor 30 Jahren wurde der C64 präsentiert - nnn.de‎

Norddeutsche Neueste NachrichtenJan 29, 2012 "Press Play on Tape": Vor mehr als 20 Jahren war der C64 der meistverkaufte Computer der Welt. zvs Viele Gadgets, die auf der CES gezeigt werden, ... / cannot access the article

These ones may be trivial mentions but could be used for connecting tissue:

"What can you do with a Commodore 64?." (Archive) CNN. December 9, 2007.

Trivial mentions:

"True believers: The biggest cults in tech" Tynan, Dan. InfoWorld.com (May 4, 2009): n/a. ProQuest ID 223174888 - "It's probably the only machine to have a "nerdcore" rap band named after it or to have inspired a revival band (Press Play on Tape) that plays nothing but rock versions of themes from C64 games."

Press Play On Tape vs. PRESS PLAY ON TAPE

From the band's About page:

How to write the name...
This band's name is
PRESS PLAY ON TAPE
Not Press Play On Tape, Press Play on Tape, Press play on tape, or any other. It should always be written with ALL CAPS - just as on the Commodore64. If it messes up your typography or estethics please use PRESS PLAY ON TAPE for first use, PPOT thereafter.

So, shouldn't PRESS PLAY ON TAPE be the main link and Press Play On Tape a redirect? --JCCyC (talk) 13:48, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@JCCyC: That's a good question. Maybe it should be brought up on Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style WhisperToMe (talk) 22:00, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
