The result was delete. As noted, YouTube views are not a qualifier of notability on Wikipedia. And most editors feel the sources are poor enough to merit deletion Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:17, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect to the UW-Madison page. I couldn't find any coverage of the group that would satisfy the GNG, and the article is a bit too promotional. Though, as a Wisconsinite, I can attest that they are well known there--the sources just don't cut it. Might be worth taking a look at the other ones linked as well.

Delete as searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage to show it passes WP:GNG. It's highly promotional tone might also have qualified as per WP:TNT. Some of the claims (100 million views) are completely unverified.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:01, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Do not Deleteas promotional wording can be removed, but the views on youtube alone are enough to meet the standard of notability. I agree the sources are not ideal, but not to the point of deletion. Thefactmanirud (talk) 19:09, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Thefactmanirud: An amount of YouTube views isn't direct evidence of notability. Per WP:IS and WP:OR, YouTube videos and their ilk can't usually be used to decide whether the subject of an article is notable. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 19:10, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
