Harmony (singing duo)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable music act, known only for their appearance on a talent show. The article claims they have a record deal which may lead to future notability, but that would be speculation at the moment; WP:MUSIC requires a charted single or album, not just a record deal.

But if someone can find a reference that actually says they're in the studio and can give a release date for an album, I would say keep.Pdcook (talk) 15:02, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Keep. First of all, I did create the article, so there would be no question that I would want to protect my own article. I think the concerns you have is the notability, because I created the article after I found some news articles about the record deal, and I decided to make the article to publicise the record deal, rather than their journey on Britain's Got Talent. The article was given a proposed deletion in it's early days, but it was declined after Cunard (talk) mentioned "removed speedy, notability is asserted by the sources and by the duo's participation in Britain's Got Talent". If I had created this article in June, right after the show ended, it would have been deleted in less than a week as they weren't notable at that time. The fact that there are reliable sources and is still nominated for deletion is ridiculous (in my opinion). This article should be kept for now, and this decision should be closed after a single/album is announced. Hassaan19 (talk) 17:49, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If you created the article to publicise the record deal you should read Spam. A record deal in itself does not directly confer notability, nor does even releasing a record. WP:MUSIC requires a charted album or single. We do not keep articles in case notability is established in the future; we create them after the event. I42 (talk) 19:31, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
