Tab & Da Villon[edit]

Non notable rap duo. They were signed to a notable label yes, but they only released one album through them. That fails WP:MUSIC. They also appear to fail WP:RS. I say delete. Undead Warrior (talk) 08:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the album.

Keep. WP:MUSIC only requires one of the 12 criteria to be met, so saying they only released one album and not two does not mean they fail the entire criteria of being notable. Having released one album, a search turns up way too much notability 1. Sleepy2222 (talk) 09:14, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, searching pulls up nothing more than blogs, mp3 download sites, or artist editable profile sites (LastFM). I can find nada that would count as reliable, third party sources for establishing notability per and of the 12 steps of WP:MUSIC. The nom is correct, while they have 1 album on a notable label, the criteria calls for 2. Non-prejudice against recreating article if they do release another album mind you. If the artist article gets deleted, the album will take care of itself under CSD A9. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 11:17, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The Google search only digs up repeated mention they released an album in unreliable sources. There's no material to support a biographical entry. According to what I saw on Discogs and AllMusic the rappers wouldn't qualify for an article by their solo career either. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: can't find anything substantial on the net WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns (talk) 01:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: They released an album through the legendary Eazy-E's legendary record label, Ruthless Records, if that's not notable, then I don't know what is. Live and Die 4 Hip Hop (talk) 18:23, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unless they released 2 on that label, they are not notable. Read WP:MUSIC. Undead Warrior (talk) 03:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should this article not be kept, perhaps a redirect to Ruthless Records would be best. Live and Die 4 Hip Hop (talk) 06:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
