Delete on the basis that it fails WP:BLP. -- Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 03:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - How exactly does it "Fail WP:BLP"? Please explain. Bienfuxia (talk) 04:24, 4 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Although the article is VERY bare (that needs to be fixed), the band is very important to live performances by Knowles as they are the ones who are performing with her! Every performance (at least most) are performed 100% live, and that is done with the assistance of the Suga Mama's. I say keep, but a lot of work should be done within the article to make it notable.

Its not important at all. There isn't a single source to confirm any of the information and why is an article required to list people who make up the band. Why is a list of people in a band notable. There must be coverage about the band and its importance for it to be notable. Why can't this be merged to the tour page? — Lil_℧niquℇ №1 ^[talk] 00:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the backing band? Sure Beyonce is as notable an musician as there is in contemporary pop music but her backing band are only marginally more notable than her roadies or her makeup assistants. The backing band would need notability in their own right such as The Shadows for instance. MLA (talk) 22:06, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
