Proposed deletion of this previously deleted article was contested at requests for undeletion. The proposed deletion rationale was "no indication that subject meets notability criteria". This is a neutral, procedural nomination only. Best regards, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 21:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete after having looked at the Discogs entry, I don't see anything that passes WP:MUSIC or even comes close. Their own releases appear to be MP3-only, and they may or may not have done remixes for somewhat notable artists, but those claims are sourced only to the myspace page and said remixes may be unofficial and/or unreleased.

Strong delete - could have been speedied; totally fail to meet our standards of notability. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:42, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found a fair amount of coverage, especially some articles in Miami New Times and Spinner, and then a variety of brief but non-trivial mentions in various other newspapers. There's enough there for WP:MUSIC criterion #1. Keep. (At the moment, there still needs to be some NPOV cleanup.) Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:06, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Extensive blog coverage found on Hype Machine and Elbows aggregators. Their music has been included on several Ministry of Sound compilations including the 2010 edition of The Annual compilation series. They have also been released by Kitsune.

Who knows how much their new album will sell when it comes out? If one single gets popular and their album sells at least 1,000 copies, then the descision will be made, backed up by their apparent featuring in Elbo, Miami New Times, Spinner, Hype Machine, and apparently many other sites and papers. Weak Keep. --Sneaky Oviraptor18^{talk edits tribute} 20:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

comment - Blog coverage is meaningless. Sneaky's argument is WP:UPANDCOMING at its worst, a clear WP:CRYSTAL-violation. If and when actual notability comes, then create an article. Passing shout-outs are not substantial coverage by reliable sources. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:59, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just returning to reiterate that I put effort into selecting reliable sources, not blogs. The articles in Miami New Times and Spinner are entirely about the group, and many various other newspapers have mentioned them (see my additions).
