No claim of notability; at least, no sources to confirm the one thin claim to notability. Fails WP:Notability (music). The DominatorTalkEdits 05:45, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. I declined the speedy on this one. A search on the actual group name "B2ST" turns up a large number of Google News (not just web) hits, see here. You can't always rely on the find sources template, it take the literal title of the article as the search term. Unfortunately, I can't read Korean at all, so I can't evaluate whether any of these sources are reliable enough to show notability.

 * Delete - Doesn't matter whether there are sources, there's no claim of notability for the sources to support. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:00, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note - I added sources that prove notability. MS   (Talk | Contributions)  14:48, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - Meets criteria 1 & 12 of WP:BAND, thus shows that the group is notable enough to receive coverage from a wide range of newspapers --NPeeerbvsesz (Push) 22:23, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I ran all of the Korean sources through 'Google translate' and there just wasn't enough there. As for criterion 12 mentioned above; I assume it was their MTV appearance, it would have to have been at least 30 minutes of coverage and I can't quantify the length by the references.  The clincher for me was their Korean Wikipedia page, which is translated here, there's not even anything there to establish notability. J04n(talk page) 05:47, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
