Notability[edit]

Erm, there's no way this article falls under A7. Notability has been asserted, as they're signed to a major hip hop label.

But if you're still in the mood for testing WP:MUSIC, here's a list of reliable sources:

Anyway, all this not to mention that they're on a full US tour right now. If this group doesn't meet WP:MUSIC, I don't know what does. Rockstar (^T/_C) 16:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If these references were in the article (instead of just links to the subject's website and their MySpace page), then it would not have been tagged with {{db-band}}. —68.239.79.97 (talk · contribs) 17:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. A7 is about asserting notability. The article asserted notability, namely being signed to a major label. A7 therefore does not qualify. You are correct, though -- the article as it stood would have failed WP:MUSIC, but if you read WP:MUSIC, failing to fulfill it does not qualify as a speedy delete.

How can Rawkus Records be considered "a major label" with only 3 current artists? (I don't think that Marco Polo is currently signed with them, unless that was supposed to be Marco Polo (rapper) as listed on the disambiguation page.) —68.239.79.97 19:10, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Um... have you looked at their history and release history? It's a major hip hop label. Rockstar (^T/_C) 19:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, I just added references that make it totally fulfill WP:MUSIC. You really should read up on the criteria for speedy deletion and realize that an article being unreferenced and not fulfill WP:N is not sufficient reason for speedy delete it. If it asserts notability -- if it says "Bob Geepers is a rock singer signed to Dingledorm Records" then notability has been asserted, even if neither exists. Period. Read that essay I sent you too, hopefully it will make you less confused. Rockstar (^T/_C) 19:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the speedy tag, as this article is not a CSD candidate. Take it to WP:AFD. Natalie 22:37, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't even see the need for that -- it blatantly fulfills WP:MUSIC as it stands. But if someone wants to AfD it so be it, it'll just come out as keep. Thanks for removing the CSD tag, by the way. Rockstar (^T/_C) 01:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
