Disagree that it should be deleted. It is a true classic of the house-music genre. Added more citations re NPR, moby. If you google "the best classic house" and the track you get lots of hits.

This is a niche genre. Heavily African American. Also LGBT.

Ps - song has nearly 7m youtube views. Bhdshoes2 (talk) 15:19, 5 June 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhdshoes2 (talk • contribs) 15:06, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed misplaced comment. @Bdshoes2:: New votes go at the bottom of the nomination. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄)

Weak Support - Notability seems not too good, does not really meet WP:BAND, however, it is debatable. Wpgbrown ^{talk | contribs} 19:41, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep had a high charting release on a Billboard chart and has reliable sources coverage such as NPR and Allmusic, passes WP:NMUSIC Atlantic306 (talk) 18:47, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep some sources in article are not indepedent; others indicate notability but not significant coverage. Search finds sources that could be added that would be enough for a short article such as this. "Follow Me" charted in the UK twice, both times outside the top 40 but in the top 75.

Weak Keep - The sources found by the previous voters must be added to the article to make it more viable. Those sources indicate that this group had one big song that charted in US and UK, which in turn generated a little media notice at the time and some more recent "lost classic"-style nostalgia. Should be enough for a presentable stub article, but it needs to be cleaned up. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:08, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
