NN band, fails the GNG and WP:BAND. The article's been notability tagged, and substantively unimproved, for over a decade. Prod removed by an editor who added two sources, one which is explicitly a press release, and the other a brief name drop in a blog post of ephemeral bands, where the entry for this one consists of three sentences, the third one evocatively being "Happiness has sadly disappeared after making their one record like a fart in the Sahara." (Neither source comes within a country mile of satisfying the GNG, to put it more mildly than the blogger did.)

Delete per nomination. The Finns have such a way with words, don't they?

Delete per nom/per above. While the sentence about their "disappearance" is funny, the band itself is not notable. And since this is another of those bands with very common names, it is difficult to search for results in Google. I don't speak Finnish so I don't know if there are reliable sources in that language.

Comment I didn't add the sources to try to prove notability, I added one to cite information that was already in the article and the other one to update what the band is doing now (nothing). There are other sources out there, such as
this album review in a notable Finnish music journal,
this interview in another notable music journal,
this album review in the biggest newspaper in Finland (paywall),
this interview on a major TV network website, and there's also
this appearance on a major TV channel in Finland (video only viewable in Finland, but it's a short interview in a music program). -

Comment unfortunately, the interviews have to be excluded per
WP:BAND: publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves~dom Kaos~ (
