Notability/NOT#News: This was a minor story in sports for a couple of days in 2005 and that was it. The subject is treated in the Miami Hurricanes football article, and that is sufficient. This article is really nothing more than the product of Recentism. In light of its relative lack of notoriety (as well as the fact that "7th Floor Crew" is neither a formal rap group nor a commercial recording -- or even one made for public consumption), an independent article is unjustified.PassionoftheDamon (talk) 09:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. While some of the people involved may be notable, the "group" is really a matter of WP:ONEEVENT, regardless of how many sources covered that one event. If you look at them as a musical group, which is what this article purports to be about, they really aren't a group. Even the article calls them an ad hoc group and membership was even in question.

 * Keep Notability established by substantial coverage in reliable sources. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability. Just because something was briefly in the news doesn't mean it should be given its own article.  This is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper.Dino Velvet 8MM (talk) 02:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete fails notability from WP:MUSIC or any other criterion--AssegaiAli (talk) 13:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to the Miami Hurricanes article section - this gives it undue importance. Definite one-event notability. matt91486 (talk) 00:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
