Non-notable music duo. No charted singles, no major reviews of their work. Nothing even for GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 15:26, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

• Speedy delete under WP:A7, not notable, no references etc. Frzzl talk · contribs 18:49, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

::Not eligible for speedy delete because the article has had references all along, but they are not necessarily reliable sources. The article also makes a claim of notability, though not a believable one. We can rely on a non-speedy regular delete process here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:09, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

• Delete - Their real-life street gang and the rappers they admire have made the news, but this duo has not. As a rap group they have not received reliable coverage and are only visible in the usual streaming services and social media promotions. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:11, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
• Comment. Found these sources. Presuming they are reliable and independent. https://ourgenerationmusic.com/exclusive/homixide-gang-tour-review/ and https://legendswillneverdie.com/2022/11/22/homixide-gang-homixide-lifestyle-review/ and https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/668288-homixide-gang-snot-or-not-album-stream. Not brilliant sources by any means, could just be promotional. Perhaps not sufficient to pass GNG, though I've witnessed keep !votes for similar levels of coverage.

:They are signed under one of the biggest modern rappers, Playboi Carti and have went on tour with him, they are also going tour with many other famous rappers such as Ken Carson, Playboi Carti, and Destroy Lonely. They have performed at the most popular hip hop festivals such as Rolling Loud and they have 1.1 million monthly listeners. Calling them a "non-notable music duo" is a frivolous claim.

• Comment - Of the three sources suggested by Rupples above, the first is a valid introductory profile from a rap magazine, the second is a blog-like album review, and the third is a very brief album announcement. All three build from the fact that the duo is being pushed by Playboi Carti. I voted to delete above but I'm willing to change my reasoning to WP:TOOSOON. I still think the sources are pretty sparse and based on their famous patron rather than themselves. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:15, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
• Comment/Question. As things are now there's insufficient coverage to keep this. However, once Playboi Carti's "Antagonist" tour gets underway in September (scheduled to feature Homixide Gang) [https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/playboi-carti-2023-antagonist-tour-dates-1234786943/] I suspect this will be remedied. Does it make sense to delete this for a couple of months only to likely have it recreated? Or is this of no relevance? Rupples (talk) 00:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

::Unless a block is placed, deleting an article now does not prevent a new one on the same subject from being created in the future. It happens quite often. New prose would have to be written from scratch, but if this rap duo becomes more notable in the future there would be more to work with anyhow. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:01, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

• Draftify or Delete. This article's draft was rejected on 1 July 2023 but published anyway without improvement. Agree with Doomsdayer520's comments re sources I put up. Currently found sourcing is inadequate to establish notability under GNG. WP:Crystal Ball applies to sourcing from the proposed tour. Rupples (talk) 01:11, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
• Further comment. Draft:Homixide Gang exists. It looks as though Homixide Gang has been copied from that draft (with the Tour section added at the bottom). Scrubbing draftifying option as there's no point. Rupples (talk) 01:49, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
• Delete: Promotional article , none of these are reliable sources [https://www.xxlmag.com/playboi-carti-album-opium-label-lil-uzi-vert/] [https://genius.com/artists/Homixide-gang] [https://parlemag.com/2022/10/playboi-carti-homixide-gang-rico-case/] [https://www.tiktok.com/@twoninefredo/video/7097696315118849326?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1 and tiktok?!] Ratnahastin (talk) 07:14, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
