A non notable hip hop group, from the looks of it never made it. Koala15 (talk) 23:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Appears to fail WP:BAND's guidelines for music. Unless more significant coverage could be found, which is about the only way this article could make the criteria of the band notability guideline (and I doubt it), the subject is not notable.

  • Delete. Short of WP:BAND. Trivial media visibility, with the one review of a local concert I found lukewarm at that.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 10:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Two notable members. Enough coverage to at least have a short article. --Michig (talk) 07:51, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - Passes point #6 of WP:BAND: "...an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians..." Northamerica1000(talk) 10:53, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - While they would technically pass #6 of WP:BAND, they still need WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS to pass WP:GNG. They just don't have the significant coverage to support the article. Also not sure if #6 would apply as it looks like the "notable" members are up for deletion themselves. I will leave a comment for them as well, judged independently of course. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 14:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. If this is to be kept because we have two members of the band notable enough for their own articles.... and then those two members have their articles deleted, then what? It might not be unwise to relist this once so that we can evaluate this article in terms of the notability of its members. Perhaps a group nomination might have been simpler, on that point.

  • Comment - Exactly, great question! Also, regardless of the members being notable or not, would you support an article about a band with "notable" members, even without the band receiving any type of significant coverage? I just hate to say that the band is defacto notable as some of their members are notable. I feel taht WP:GNG still need to be met before evaluating them for WP:BAND. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 16:39, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Relisted for discussion of the new additions, which may reach Heymann standards. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:25, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – I'd agree with Michig here. In addition to the coverage that 24.18.191.231 has been good enough to add to the article, I see other bits of significant coverage off-line, for example "Hip hop slides in for summer"; Scanlon, Tom.
