7th Floor Crew
nn music group. Their website is a myspace page. No allmusic or artistdirect pages. User:Zoe|(talk) 04:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete Advertisement and vanity page for yet another non-notable band. --Wingsandsword 04:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per the benchmark for band vanity, a Myspace page. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 15:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep because this probably shouldn't be a music article as much as an article about the Miami Hurricanes flap about the explicit rap song recorded by members of its football team a few years back. It was covered on ESPN.com and caused the athletic director to issue a public apology.  Very notable, should be cleaned up and kept if I don't get around to cleaning it up first.  A redirect to the proper Miami Hurricanes page may be in order as well, but I feel this is a notable enough event/group to warrant its own article. --badlydrawnjeff 16:15, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * So write a one-paragraph addition to the Miami University article. As a music group, these guys fail WP:MUSIC.  Zoe (216.234.130.130 17:02, 16 December 2005 (UTC))
 * But they're notable, meeting WP:BIO's "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events," as reported by ESPN.com. The point that the article, in its current incarnation, focuses on their music and not their notabilty is a problem best dealt with via cleanup, not deletion. --badlydrawnjeff 17:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete At best, this should be incorporated per Zoe's point above. Eusebeus 17:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment I have rewrote the article to reflect the notability. --badlydrawnjeff 18:55, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep It was a news event and somewhat of a scandal. It is not a commercial group and there is no money to be made from the song.
 * Keep per badlydrawnjeff. Fairly well known within the college football world. (ESkog)(Talk) 00:17, 17 December 2005 (UTC)


 * weak redirect - while a lot was written about this "group" at the time, I'm not sure if every scandal involving athletes or sports teams deserves its own page. It may be more usefull to have a page Scandals involving the University of Miami (or involving the U of M football team or athletic department) or Scandals involving the Minnesota Vikings (rather than a page devoted to the "love-boat" thing earlier in the season).

 * Keep As said below- a newsworthy scandal, and definitely not an advertisement for the band; it's only one song, and it's free. --AnthonyA7 05:37, 25 December 2005 (ECT)

This was a big scandal. Nobody really thinks of them as a group anymore than the 85 Bears.
