  • Keep. Major label act, bio and review at Allmusic/The Allmusic Guide to Hip-Hop, entry in The Encyclopedia of Popular Music - doesn't fail GNG. --Michig (talk) 13:16, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment One album on a major label doesn't pass wp:BAND - and their second wasn't on a major label. The Allmusic Bio is trivial. I can't verify the Encyclopaedia of Popular Music - I think we need an expert on this one to provide sources as I suspect they were notable (which isn't temporary) but the sources are almost 20 years old.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 01:23, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. WP:Notability requires sources. The Encyclopedia is a tertiary source and not appropriate for a discussion on establishing notability (WP:WPNOTRS). Allmusic alone doesn't establish significant coverage and the bio is extremely brief, sufficient for it to be a "passing mention". Nothing else significant was turned up by a search. The references in the article itself are primary/self-published. Gm545 (talk) 05:41, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Michig. Some of his sources have been ignored; one other, maligned. (I've reviewed what WP:TERTIARY actually says, and am aware besides that subject-specific encyclopedias commonly contain subjective opinion & analysis. TEOPM is no more a compendium than The New Grove is.) Also Idolator [1], XXL [2], the accepted RS RapReviews [3] & contemporaneous reviews in the rap press such as DJ Mighty Mi's for The Source, Feb. 1994. 78.19.9.121 (talk) 03:29, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
