Music group which fails WP:MUSIC and lacks non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. No matches were found in the Google News Archive (all dates searched).

  • Merge with Esham. This is not notable on its own. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 06:07, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Esham was with this group only briefly, I don't think a merge is appropriate in this particular case. JBsupreme (talk) 06:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep It passes the WP:MUSIC because it holds true numbers 2, 5, and 6 in "Criteria for musicians and ensembles". I can reference the article from their website using archive.org, as well as reference their four chart positions from allmusic.com and eonline.com. I can also try and search for other sites so it can hold true number 1 too. But I would much rather not if this article would ultimately be deleted anyway and all my work be in vain.Juggalobrink (talk) 15:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • The requirement for articles is non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. If you are able to locate such coverage, please let everyone know. JBsupreme (talk) 17:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I've only found a few sites [http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=SOOPA|VILLAINZ\\'&sql=11:jzfwxqesldhe~T5 Allmusic] and [http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=ec2fe6c5-ef95-4f1a-8b15-26e07e26989b&entry=index eOnline], which both only state chart positions so I'm guessing they're considered trival coverage. I've also found an extremely short review of Furious from [http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6900104/a/Furious.htm# CD Universe] which could possibly be used, but I'm not sure it's reliable. I haven't really searched though.Juggalobrink (talk) 20:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep — Group is made up of three notable artists: Esham and Insane Clown Posse members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 13:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC))
