The result was   keep. With the sourcing improvements made, it seems apparent that sufficient coverage is available to demonstrate notability ~ mazca  talk 10:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Boy Better Know
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable band and self-named label. Article has been previously deleted per the prior AFD, and apparently recreated. Article cites a reference to http://www.chartstats.com, but this is not the official UK Single chart. That site (http://www.theofficialcharts.com) has no record of this artist.

 * Delete - I can't see anything that grants this group notability. (It should be noted that they do exist - I subscribe to the UK Charts Plus newsletter and they're listed in there. Although they haven't made higher than No79 and doing a song with someone that's notable (Wiley) doesn't grant them notable under Wp:NOTINHERITED).

 * Delete - Per above, no evidence of notability. DiiCinta (talk) 13:40, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: Still fails WP:MUSIC. Joe Chill (talk) 18:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per nom. VQuakr (talk) 03:18, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep: not much coverage in reliable sources, but probably enough. Meets criteria 6 and possibly 7 of WP:MUSIC.  If only one member was notable it would probably be appropriate to merge and redirect, but it isn't possible to redirect to three articles. snigbrook (talk) 12:37, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep – There's an entire article about them in New Nation (which I just added), and multiple other publications cite them as a major influence in the grime music scene (The Independent, The Observer, the Evening Standard). Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:53, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Relisted because it's clear some sourcing improvements have been made since most of the delete arguments were made. A few people evaluating the improvements would help us form a consensus one way or another. ~ mazca  talk 11:31, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Sufficient coverage for notability. Wiley and Skepta are also independently notable.--Michig (talk) 11:46, 3 July 2010 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|15px]] Keep — somewhat weakly. It now clearly passes WP:GNG.  We should look to create a consensus as to what is required to make a label notable. Gosox(55)(55) 16:06, 3 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Per WP:BAND #2 and #4. The article still needs cleanup and fewer primary sources. VQuakr (talk) 17:26, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per VQuakr. Reliable sources all over the place. Crashandspin (talk) 13:23, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
