Fails WP:V and WP:GNG. I am unable to find any reliable sources to verify any of the other information in the article besides the fact that they were indeed listed with On-U Sound Records. —Darkwind (talk) 19:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Singers & Players was effectively a reggae supergroup of notable musicians including Adrian Sherwood, Lincoln "Style" Scott (Roots Radics), Roydel Johnson with regular contributing vocalists such as Prince Far I and Bim Sherman contributing. A search for 'singers players adrian sherwood' found these on the first page of Google Books results: VIBE, SPIN, CMJ New Music Monthly, then there's Global Rhythm, Rock: The Rough Guide, Reggae & Caribbean Music, The Rough Guide to Reggae. With Sherwood being (I think) the only constant in the group as producer, merging there may be appropriate, but this is certainly a notable group/collective, and certainly doesn't fail WP:V. --Michig (talk) 20:18, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Michig demonstrates plenty of coverage in reliable sources, and the band released albums on Cherry Red Records [1] and On-U Sound Records [2]. Meets WP:BAND. — sparklism ^hey! 07:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
