Comment Might barely squeak by WP:MUSIC. I found precisely two instances of non-trivial coverage in Korean sources, which I added to the article. SM Entertainment is a notable label but I can't find a very strong confirmation that they're actually signed, just that their video was posted by SM's official Youtube account. cab (talk) 05:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 2 Yes, there are not enough strong sources that suggest they are signed under SM entertainment, but the fact that the duo has released a mini-album makes them notable in South Korea, if not internationally at least. Also, the mini-album was released in late 2009 and may have more plans in the future. The mini-album was released under the name of Purple Communications and SM Entertainment (Studio Works) and the music videos were released on the you-tube page of SM Entertainment. However, our confusion about the true nature of their contracts does not mean we should delete the article. We can help by improving it by removing unconfirmed information or mentioning it as just a speculation. I would have helped further but I am not too familiar with Korean language.

- Releasing an album doesn't make a group notable. Being covered in secondary sources makes them notable. The amount of such coverage here is rather small, which is why I am maintaining a neutral position here. Further, having "more plans in the future" doesn't make you notable; this is precisely what WP:CRYSTAL warns against. WP:MUSIC specifically states "Has released two or more albums on a major label" as a criterion; I don't know whether one video and a mini-album passes that standard (I'm guessing not, but I don't usually participate in debates about bands and musicians). cab (talk) 04:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 3 Well, since the article does not concide with any of the guidelines in WP:MUSIC or has its own website, I think it is only reasonable to delete it. This is only a project group and its continuity stands in question either way. Farjad0322 (talk) 02:51, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
