Fails WP:MUSIC. A "supergroup" composed solely of artists signed to the supergroup's label, none of whom pass WP:MUSIC other than by virtue of being members of this group which is notable because of those same members. A walled garden. Mdsummermsw (talk) 14:41, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Mostly because it's lacking in third party sources indicating notability. I like that term, "walled garden."--Quartermaster (talk) 14:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Does not have refs to show it satisfies WP:MUSIC. Do such reliable sources exist, with substantial coverage of this group? If so add them or at least identify them here. The chatty article says the "group" had different names and different members over the years, so refs solely about individual members would not prove this group was notable.

  • Delete - I'm hard-pressed to see how this band claims to be notable. Regardless, does not meet WP:MUSIC. TN‑X-Man 19:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment - A reliable source, but it's all of two sentences long: One about the group and one about its members other activities. That's not substantial coverage by any measure. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 20:10, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Hmmm I've had a poke around and found [http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/store/detail.asp?UPC=DGZ422CD this] and [http://www.fatbeats.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=1757&products_id=6424 this], but not much else. I'm quite surprised actually; as someone with a keen interest in underground hip-hop, I'm very familiar with these guys and their work, even all the way over here in the UK. I was shocked to see this nominated, but now that I've looked I can see that they are very, very close to failing WP:MUSIC - with that in mind, delete unless other reliable sources are forthcoming. sparkl!sm hey! 21:05, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
