Non-notable group. Redirect to Hot Boys as the BG'z are considered a precursor to that group. Binksternet (talk) 01:42, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this page was created by a sockpuppet, Free Keyz, so it could be speedied per G5. But I think it's worth settling the matter by discussion. Binksternet (talk) 01:46, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: uncontroversial G5. Doesn't need a thread. HarukaAmaranth (話) 02:12, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Checkuser note: this not eligible for G5 since the master wasn't blocked until after creation. I just blocked all three accounts today. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:20, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: Although the musical group's importance is low, it does not necessarily mean that deletion is necessary to resolve the dispute. And the information about the group was recorded by some authoritative magazines. I think the best way is to preserve edit history through redirection. -Fumikas Sagisavas (talk) 10:57, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Fumikas Sagisavas: Which article would you suggest the article be redirected to? Hey man im josh (talk) 12:36, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - See also the AfD for the group's one album at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/True Story (The B.G.'z album). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Hot Boys as recommended by the nominator. This early teenage group had guys who became notable later, but that is a historical tidbit that can be mentioned briefly at each of their articles. If someone happens to search for the name, their immediate successor group is the most viable redirect target. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:02, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
