Hippie Sabotage

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails NMUSIC. The article itself, says they will be they were on Next Big Sound chart. The sources for fight with security is not notable. scope_creep 17:08, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete fails WP:NMUSIC standards. - SanAnMan (talk) 18:00, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I'm the page creator. I wrote about the subject's notability on the talk page. IMO, the subject's borderline; so, I'm interested in how this AfD would go. If you do a Google News search (with quotes) for the subject, there is 3,160 results. I haven't gone through all the results and only added a few of them that had relevant information that could be used in an encyclopedia; so, there might be more notable, reliable sources in the pile -- maybe enough to meet §1 of WP:NMUSIC.CerealKillerYum (talk) 03:51, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep There's lots of coverage out there, which on the surface looks like a clear-cut keep. On further inspection, however, it seems to either mostly be about the security incident or is the usual music blogosphere and regional press sort of stuff. There's just about enough of it, however, to justify inclusion. I'm also going off their social numbers a little bit, which are in the region of sufficiently famous and don't appear to be purchased. KaisaL (talk) 02:49, 4 August 2016 (UTC) Strong keep Per the point made by Launchballer. I'd completely missed it, but a top-ten UK hit - they were credited as an artist - is an absolute, clear-cut, stonewall inclusion under WP:NMUSIC. There shouldn't be any real argument here.

 * Delete as there is still not nearly convincingly enough, the listed award is trivial. SwisterTwister   talk  03:02, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:MUSICBIO - they had a #6 hit on the UK Singles Chart with Habits (Stay High). This is a pathetic excuse for an entry, though.-- Laun  chba  ller  16:49, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, I meant their article was poor quality - this wasn't an attack on this nomination - I meant that the article doesn't even care to mention its chart placing, and barely mentions Tove Lo.-- Laun  chba  ller  12:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep (strike Delete) -- despite the chart placement, RS coverage is not there to demonstrate notability. Per #1 chart placement and association to the Tove Lo subject as noted below. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:21, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * A top ten placing on a major national singles chart should make any need for this extended coverage moot. It's a clearly established point of WP:NMUSIC and it's not like we're talking about a marginal lower reach of the chart, #6 is a very high placing. KaisaL (talk) 03:18, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment As well as being #6 on the UK Singles Chart, Hippie Sabotage are also credited with a number-one in the Dutch Top 40, the top five of the Australian Singles Chart, Belgian Top 50 and New Zealand singles chart, the top ten of the VG-lista (Norway) and the top twenty of the Swedish Singles Chart. It would go against all established precedent to delete this. KaisaL (talk) 03:22, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm fearful they have done enough to stay in. scope_creep 13:29, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment -- I believe that the content from Habits (Tove Lo song) should be added to the article to beef it up. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
