Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO and WP:BAND. No charted songs or awards. Sources are a clutter of Allmusic, Facebook, and Spotify. When reliable sources were cited, they reported on this street gang's violence, which does nothing to support their notability as a band. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Promiment member C Biz has a charted album. Number 18 on the UK R&B Charts. Group is a hip hop collective/street gang and a record label. TwinTurbo (talk) 22:01, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Official Chart Company's R&B chart wouldn't usually be counted as charting, usually with the UK it is just the Official Chart Company's Top 40 (which includes all genres), anything outside that is not considered to have been a hit. That would also only be an argument for an article on C Biz - it would need multiple notable members to meet WP:MUSICBIO. Boleyn (talk) 07:17, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Three of the sources are primary sources (one of them even cites their Facebook page), and the rest are passing mentions. 🌺Kori🌺 - (@) 17:34, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As pointed out, even the articles that do show sigcov fall into WP:NOTNEWS territory. Sulfurboy (talk) 06:34, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Individual members of the gang may be notable due to their violent records, but the overall group itself doesn't seem to cross the line in terms of our notability standards. I agree. Deletion seems to be the right call. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 09:31, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
