I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of WP:COMPOSER but I am fairly certain that this doesn't meet either WP:GNG or WP:CORP. Nearly all of the content is uncited and I am unable to find any in-depth coverage about them. The only potential route I can see to notability is via COMPOSER #1 for writing the lyrics for Evering Road per this but that is a trivial mention and I can't see anything providing more detail either.

Delete. Not notable enough to satisfy WP:GNG. This page is related to the problem we had six years ago with promotion of songwriters and producers coming from THREEE (a talent agency). See Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_80#Erik Eger Entertainment and THREEE editing on behalf of clients. Now it looks like Triptik is the new THREEE.

@Binksternet: There's almost certainly a COI involvement, but I'm not sure I see the link between this and that case, other than it involves songwriters. SmartSE (talk) 15:37, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was alerted to the connection by the edit history of Special:Contributions/86.31.120.143, who has edited Kid Harpoon in a manner similar to the earlier COI problem, and has also edited The Six. There is a group of Six-related articles that have are of interest to a small number of editors, including Jbyoung00, Whippy7, Mapofworld94 and the single-purpose accounts Sabbl, Kiykiy95 and Kitpirt.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete The COI editing is noted. While some of the individuals involved might be separately notable, this collective as a notable entity known as "The Six"--which is the article under question here--lacks RS sourcing. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:43, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
