Doing a Google search yields very limited coverage and the sources in the article currently are just from official charts, no independent coverage. Andise1 (talk) 08:39, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. An act with a number 2 hit in the main chart of an important music market, and a featured appearance on a further top 5 hit, is overwhelmingly likely to be notable. That they have not been Elgarised by the post-Blair/Cameron "new establishment" does not mean we should not cover them just as much as we cover Elgarised rock. For a significant audience, they are very notable indeed, and we cannot discount and dismiss that audience. RobinCarmody (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Week delete per nom, this seems to be WP:TOOSOON. -Xclusivzik (talk) 20:27, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Two charting singles, one of which hit #2 and charted in four countries, and a platinum certification. Easily passes WP:NMUSIC. Mlb96 (talk) 00:09, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
delete sure they charted, but that's not enough on it's own for WP:GNG to be met and there doesn't seem to be any in-depth references that would get them there. I'm on the weak delete side though because they did chart, but it would probably be better to delete the article for now anyway per WP:TOOSOON. For all we know they could be a one or two hit wonder. In the mean time "A1 x J1 charted", which is 99% of article currently, is extremely WP:MILL and not encyclopedic. --Adamant1 (talk) 04:33, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets WP:MUSICBIO with having charting singles. It's enough. The criteria says taht they need to meet at least one item and they meet criterion #2. MartinWilder (talk) 03:08, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A charting single establishes notability per the guidelines, and a charting single is a charting single - it's not open to interpretation. JSFarman (talk) 15:48, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:MUSICBIO, as of writing the article has had over 4,700 views in the past month and I just heard their single "Coming for You" on daytime BBC Radio 1 today so its likely the artist will receive more coverage in the future. NemesisAT (talk) 18:20, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Those citing WP:TOOSOON are correct. We can see this whole year if coverage has increased. TolWol56 (talk) 15:44, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of people accessing and reading this article so I just don't see how deleting it now would improve the encyclopedia especially if it gets recreated in the future - that is just creating additional work for editors and discouraing improvement of the article (folks are much more likely to improve the article if it already exists). NemesisAT (talk) 15:51, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not too soon at all. They've already had major chart hits, a Brit Award nomination ([1]), GRM Daily Rated Award nomination ([2]) and have significant coverage including [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. --Michig (talk) 19:43, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
