Not notable. Lacks coverage about them in independent reliable sources. Spam bombarded with primary sources. Points to a Spellemannprisen win but that was won by Ralph Myerz Band, Da YoungFellaz were only one of many guests on the album. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:33, 16 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. I believe this article is not eligible for deletion, because all reliable sources have been listed from notable news websites, 2DopeBoyz, The Source, Discogs, Oxygen Network along with a few others have all covered the group, making them notable. Da YoungFellaz have officially released a lead single featuring Snoop Dogg, George Clinton and Nipsey Hussle through EMPIRE Distribution on January 8th 2016, a song off of the 2013 Spellemannprisen award winning album Supersonic Pulse from Ralph Myerz, as well as another song with Young Money/Cash Money artist Cory Gunz, and both have been linked with reliable sources. Da YoungFellaz performed in Norway on the NRK Network at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2011 which was also listed with a reliable source showing their notability, they are also listed as artist on EMPIRE Distributions Wikipedia page, and official website, showing that they are artist on the label, with official releases from the label. Their song "Bounce" with Electropoint was featured on Bad Girls Club - Season 16, Episode 7 on November 8th, 2016, which has also been linked with a realiable source from the Oxygen Network. They've also officially released songs with Sadat X of Brand Nubian, Donny Goines, Talib Kweli, Cassidy, Phil Da Agony of Strong Arm Steady, which have all been linked to reliable sources showing it's release and media coverage. ihaterobots78 (talk) 07:27, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment The ONLY edits ever done by the above commenter are the above 'keep,' edited several times. It seems likely this account is strictly to support the presence of this article. The value of this contribution is nil. Tapered (talk) 07:17, 22 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Rapid DeleteThe google references aren't from reliable sources. They're mostly from 3-4 years ago, which means the group hasn't gotten traction in mainstream media/reliable sources. This group was rapidly deleted 4 years ago. Nothing has changed, except four more years without notability. Tapered (talk) 07:17, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Many references are provided, nearly all (I stopped counting) are user submitted. I can't find independent, third party verification from significant sources of this subject's notability. The article seems to make a claim of notability by existence alone. ShelbyMarion (talk) 14:46, 22 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. But what about the reliable sources speaking on their Snoop Dogg collaboration that was just released in 2016? Also, what about the music that was released last year through EMPIRE Distribution a record label on Wikipedia? Or by Elliott Wilson's website Rap Radar just last year? 2DopeBoyz are also on Wikipedia, and have written about the group as recent as 2015-2016 wouldn't all of this show their notability? Or how about DJ Funk Flex of Hip-Hop radio station WQHT in New York who just spoke on the group 2 months ago? These are all of the sources listed, there's also links of HipHopDX writing about the group. There's lots of recent reliable sources who are also on Wikipedia and in the Hip-Hop realm writing about this group and as recent as of late 2016, showing their notability.

 * Comment Admins please note: this is a second "keep" from an editor with no contributions to anything except the article in question, and this page. Tapered (talk) 06:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Admins please note: I have no connection to this band, I've been following this duo for quite some time, they have Verified Accounts on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, VEVO, amongst several other sites. If this band isn't notable why are these social media sites/apps verifying their accounts? (Twitter.com/dayoungfellaz, Instagram.com/dayoungfellaz, Facebook.com/dayoungfellaz, YouTube.com/dayoungfellazvevo). Ihaterobots78 (talk) 08:56, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
