Insufficient information to describe the topic, and very unorganized PBASH607 (The One Day Apocalypse) (talk) 22:40, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see why it can't be speedied per WP:BAND (and WP:GARAGEBAND), but if you think it needs discussion that's fine. Ignatz mice•talk 22:48, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep They've got quite a bit of media coverage for an up-and-coming band, including some international coverage and at least short features in several major publications. It's arguably not quite in-depth enough to meet WP:BAND #1, but it's close.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:44, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's too soon for an article on them. Koala15 (talk) 19:26, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article could use expansion, but sufficient reliable sources to warrant an article (satisfying WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO) appear to exist: in addition to the above write-ups, there's an article on the trio in XXL (excerpt), a HipHopDX piece ([9]), and a feature in Clash magazine [10].

Edit: I have incorporated some of these sources into the article. Gong show 02:04, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Very unorganized" is not a reason to delete an article, it's a reason to fix it. I see sufficient coverage in third party sources to establish notability and from which to build a valid article. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:33, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Gongshow, WikiDan61, WP:HEY, WP:BAND, and WP:GNG. The band has been featured in articles in XXL, Spin, Clash, and other major music-industry articles. WP:AfD is not for article clean-uo. Bearian (talk) 17:29, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
