No references is not a reason to delete an article, the questions we should ask is can we reference it, and is it notable? I've added one reference, and others seem to be available. I will leave it to others to discuss how successful a pop group needs to be to be notable and whether these young ladies meet that criteria. Ϣere SpielChequers 16:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. The group has entered the Korean chart GAON so qualifies for inclusion under WP:BAND #2. RichardOSmith (talk) 17:01, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The chart page above shows the name as Dal★shabet. In this form the article has been deleted and salted. If this AfD closes as keep or no consensus then it may be appropriate to move it to that location. RichardOSmith (talk) 17:25, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The question of notability should be considered in light of the band's age (about 1 month), number of musical releases (one single and one accompanying music video) and degree of peer or industry recognition (2 television programs). It must also be kept in mind that none of the claims in the article have been referenced and the only external link leads to a gossip site describing criticism of the group. The group might be notable in the future, but are they notable now? LordVetinari (talk) 11:17, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
