Da Gooniez
Delete as vanity. "eagerly anticipated first album" indeed FreplySpang (talk) 22:13, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as British wannabes. By the way, one of these fake rappers just deleted my original vote. Isn't that grounds to block them from editing? CPS 23:06, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment Hi, sorry, as the creator of the post I'm totally new to Wikipedia. I admit as a fan of the group I may have used over exhuberant descriptions, however consider that edited!  Sorry about deleting the vote, I tried to type this comment between the two comments (it originally only refered to the first vote) and accidently deleted the block of text.  I do, however think that this 'fake rapper' accusation is slightly inflammatory, and innacurate.  Just to clear up some confusion you may have, the group consist of two producers, not rappers.  I'm not really sure how much knowledge of hip hop you have, but the two things are fundamentally different.  I also find the 'wannabees' comment slightly offensive, unless you have knowledge of the group and their rather large (albiet underground) following, it's unfair for you to typecast them in such a way.  Again, however, apologies for deleting the original comment, I hope my open admission and full apology of this will stop me from being banned from editing! Ianwarren
 * Hi Ianwarren. Please assume that Vfd voters known less than nothing about hip-hop. If you want them to be kept, you need to show some evidence of popularity or notability, maybe they collaborated with someone famous? Kappa 23:29, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No evidence of notability; criteria in WP:MUSIC apparently not met. "Da Gooniez" garners 0 relevant Google hits. There appear to be hip-hop groups in New Jersey and Atlanta that go by the same name, however. android&harr;talk 02:22, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. nonnotable. Mikkalai 04:09, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Megan1967 05:12, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * "Da Goonies" doesn't appear to get relevant hits either. The claims in the article are not verifiable. Delete. Samaritan 07:05, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, redirect to The Goonies, movie by LucasFilm. Radiant_* 13:55, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
