Foreign Beggars
Nonnotable rap group. 549 unique Ghits (not all about them, either). Article barely asserts notability (two awards in 2005), so not speediable. Also nominating their album Asylum Speakers. NawlinWiki 11:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Update I appreciate MGM's note, and apparently they are now signed to a label, "Dented Records" (no Wikipedia listing) -- but they have only the one self-released album out plus a few EPs. Their page on the Dented Records site  still says they are "working on their second album to be released April 2006."  I don't think I want to withdraw the nom just yet - can someone with knowledge of the UK hip hop scene comment further? NawlinWiki 13:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Apparently the BBC found the awards notable enough to cover them (you might need to hit next a few times to see the relevant image), which makes them winners of a non-trivial award, fulfilling WP:MUSIC. - Mgm|(talk) 12:06, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, have won prizes as well. And please remind that WP:MUSIC is just a guideline, so in bordeline cases its better to not delete. Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 13:49, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
