Diverse

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I see no evidence that this band meets WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC. None of the cited references provided even mention the band. There appears to be a rapper of the same name whose albums are listed on Amazon (see ); this is not the same subject. If anything, this appears to be a WP:COATRACK article related to Rocket Records and its founder, and attempts to make an assertion of notability through association with other boy bands of that era.

 * Delete and move Diverse (rapper) back to Diverse; that article should not have been moved to make way for this article. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 11:21, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - I found nothing about this band on the internet. If this article is to stay, someone must find notable coverage somewhere on the internet or notable articles in print media. Bill Pollard (talk) 12:51, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete and move Diverse (rapper) back to Diverse per Mendaliv, since this Diverse fails WP:MUSICBIO. — sparklism  hey! 07:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Not notable. Part of a series of promo articles all cross linked.  None, that I have found, have any sort of substantial coverage in the references listed. PeterWesco (talk) 17:18, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - I originally authored the article in good faith and I will now say DELETE because the article has caused an uproar here over notability. However, this is certainly not part of a series of promo articles as incorrectly stated by PeterWesco. The articles in question are historic based, with zero promotional value. They were fully neutral in both facts stated and tone from the limited references found, and were written for historical purposes and only inter cross linked when there was an indirect connection made to current notable entities. If consensus is to delete this article, so be it, but I must defend the full neutrality of this historic-based article and clearly let it be stated that this is no way is a promo article. Consensus seems to be delete this article, which I will even agree with based on valid points raised, with the exception on PeterWesco's promo article notion which is completely untrue. I may not be the world's greatest Wikipedia editor, but I certainly adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines, and I would never go against those policies and purposely contribute to Wikipedia in an unproductive or agenda-based way. I always respect community consensus, even on articles I have contributed directly or worked on a lot.    Zachtron (talk) 03:28, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - For this and the other articles in question, can you point to sources you can use to establish notability? I know how difficult it can be to find sources sometimes. Do you know of magazine articles, newspaper articles, reviews, etc.? Articles on Wikipedia need verification of facts. As I said, I would vote to keep this if someting notable could be found and used. Bill Pollard (talk) 07:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
