Nasty Nasty (band)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A sub-group of a K-pop group. The members are non-notable, and the one single they released does not appear to have done very much. Drmies (talk) 06:32, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. They've had one digital single. Except in exceptional cases, surely that's not enough to merit a Wikipedia article. We all know EVERY release in Korea charts, whether it sells one copy or a million, so technically passes Wikipedia's notability requirements, but we have to use common sense. I looked around the web and seems almost all info "reported" by allkpop, Soompi, etc came from the band's twitter feed, etc. No reliable, independent sources at all.

- Comment: Shinyang-i, you've said several times now that every release in Korea charts (I assume you are referring to Gaon Chart, which is the national music chart). That's not actually true, so you shouldn't use that as an argument. There are groups who have no charted songs or albums. --Random86 (talk) 08:34, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. technically passes Wikipedia's notability requirements, but we have to use common sense... So, you are redefining Wikipedia's notability requirements according to your "common sense"? OpenSourceDev42 (talk) 22:28, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Wikipedia's notability requirements are meant to be subject to common sense. That is stated in the policies. Otherwise every single artist in Korea would pass notability guidelines, which is not the intent of Wikipedia notability guidelines. The spirit of the guidelines is what is supposed to be followed, not the absolute letter. Songs must still meet WP:GNG to be considered notable, and artists must still have significant coverage in reliable, independent sources; Nasty Nasty does not appear to meet those requirements. Did you read the article? Did you find evidence of notability or were you just knee-jerk reacting to phraseology in my comment that you didn't like? You made no comment on the article itself, only on me. Shinyang-i (talk) 16:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep see #77 they charted. also not a sub-group, this is a special label unit. it'll be a sparse article, but it seems to fit guidelines to me. Asdklf; (talk) 22:44, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
