151 Feva Gang

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I tried cleaning up this article, but I'm fairly sure it doesn't meet music notability criteria or verifiability policy. Couldn't find any independent reliable sources via a Google search. Nothing on allmusicguide. There's a hint of notability with radio airplay, but it's not substantiated- none of the claims in this article apply to the musicians specifically. The line "More information on 151 Feva Gang will be published soon, as additional resources are still needed in order to provide an accurate account of their origins" really sums it up.

 * Delete The closest they come to passing WP:MUSIC, it seems, is the claim that they're being played on XM. Unfortunately, this is unsubstantiated. I'll continue to look, but they've got no albums, singles, tours, mentions in reliable sources, awards, etc. Doesn't appear to be notable. faithless   (speak)  01:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom; fails WP:MUSIC. Getting played on XM is not the same as being "placed in rotation", which is what the criterion specifies. Precious Roy 13:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. --Evb-wiki 13:40, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Salamipete 14:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC) This article is still being edited, but this does comply with wikipedia's notability guidelines. Objective 3rd party sources and citations have been rendered as well as much needed updates to certain key areas in order to clarify the purpose and overall necessity of this article.  To delete this article would stifle information pertinent to independent hip hop, stifling future discourse and hindering legitimate research on said topic. — Salamipete (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment Almost all of those "objective 3rd party sources" fail WP:RS. The only truly reliable source is the Orlando Sentinal, and that article isn't about the group, it's about the Black College Reunion. Re-read WP:MUSIC and see if the group meets any one of the criteria listed. It doesn't as far as I can tell; if I'm mistaken, please elaborate here. Precious Roy 15:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment Salamipete 17:27, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Understandable ... I can see where there might be weak links in the article. I'm still working on this one.  I did go over the WP:MUSIC and I do beleive that the GarageBand reviews and awards, which are done by actual music reviewers, as well as the Spityogame.com featured article would be considered a reliable source.  National mixtapes hosted by known DJ's and  platinum artists I also assumed provided validity.  Im not an expert at this yet, sstill learning, if I'm wrong about anything, the input is much appreciated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salamipete (talk • contribs) 17:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - The only indie rap group from New Jersey featured in Facebook are they? Well good on them then, but that still does not count as notability under WP:Music. A1octopus 16:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
