Keep. The only question here is whether the article should be kept or merged/redirected to the article for notable group member Guðrið Hansdóttir. That is a content discussion, not a matter for AFD. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 17:26, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No argument is presented here as to how WP:MUSICBIO is met. LibStar (talk) 07:45, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Keep the article, but improve the refs. Garagepunk66 (talk) 00:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Does not meet WP:NMUSIC, which requires 2 albums or proof of national charting. I don't have access to Icelandic materials, so I am basing this on the article, but I don't see 1) multiple albums 2)major label 3) national charting 4) awards. You could easily argue that this policy does not make it easy for indie bands or musicians from outside major Western countries to get into WP, and I couldn't disagree, but that's what we have to work with. Even without trying to stick to some strict letter of the policy, nothing here speaks to notability. They are a band. They tour. They have an album. LaMona (talk) 06:59, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now in any case as none of this currently suggests even a minimally better article. SwisterTwister talk 18:26, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Guðrið_Hansdóttir. The duo itself seems non-notable, but if she's notable enough for her own article, I can see where pointing people searching for the duo to the small section of her page would ultimately improve the encyclopedia. Lithorien (talk) 15:21, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect instead perhaps as there may, at least from what I currently see, be better for a better separate article. SwisterTwister talk 00:00, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
