A new girl group who were announced all of five days ago and have yet to do anything. I'm struggling to find any sources that aren't just blog entries. Fails WP:BAND. Contested prod. PC78 (talk) 00:43, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, or redirect to Woollim Entertainment. On the contrary, you can find reliable Korean sources for the subject on Naver easily, such as Hankook Ilbo, TenAsia, iMBC, Herald Pop, etc. The article needs a lot of work, or it is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Heolkpop (talk) 18:25, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Granted, I've only looked at those links via an online translator, but they all just look like promotional fluff. That doesn't demonstrate notability. PC78 (talk) 22:22, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - To be fair, some info that weren't known are revealed in those sources, such as the names of members, its debut date, etc. I would still say it is a case of WP:TOOSOON, and a redirect is enough. The label Woollim is pretty known in the Korean music industry with three members of this girl group competed in Produce 48 – one of them is a former AKB48 member.

Keep. They've achieved a top 10 in Korea. I am sure there are more sources out there than there was in July, even if most would be in Korean media. Ss112 02:04, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep they haven't been around long but with a high charting release they pass criteia 2 of WP:NMUSIC and therefore should be included, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 17:07, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to withdraw this one given that things have changed in the last three weeks, but note that the article was premature at the time of creation and would probably have benefited from some time in draft space. PC78 (talk) 19:58, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - clearly an article to promote the group (WP:NOTPROMOTION) - a case of WP:TOOSOON - Epinoia (talk) 21:06, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes point two of WP:BAND, debut album ranked number six on South Korea's national Gaon Album Chart. Ə XPLICIT 07:44, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
