The result was speedy keep. This rationale is nearly the exact same as the last AfD which got quickly SNOW'd out. The group is clearly notable, since they won a major talent competition and have lots of reliable coverage. JamieS93 19:36, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Delete. This act has failed to achieve notability since appearing on the programme and have achieved nothing outside of the show. As previous articles have decreed (Brian Belo, Anthony Hutton) - winning an RTV show doesn't equal a Wikipedia article. Bravedog (talk) 19:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy keep on the contrary to the nomination, winning Britain's Got Talent confers automatic notability. While the Got Talent series is somewhat sui generis, the understanding in the previous AFD was that Julian Smith, had he won, would've passed NMUSIC, so the spirit of that guideline should be conferred onto the dance troupe.

Speedy keep. Clearly notable.--Michig (talk) 10:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Speedy keep. Nothing has changed since the previous AFD; notability is not temporary. Although all coverage is bound to comment on their involvement with BGT, there is coverage that doesn't revolve around their inclusion in the contest or their odds of winning – such as [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8079018.stm] (BBC) and [http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/4387162.Talented_dance_group_visits_sick_children/] (local news) – and therefore passes the general notability guideline.
