Inverse (hip hop group)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This subject does not appear to meet the notability criteria for musicians. (Article was PRODDED: PROD was removed by editor who though it should be speedy; speedy was declined by admin who thought it was not speedy, but should probably not survive AfD.)

 * Comment. These two from okayplayer and Vapors magazine look like significant coverage in reliable sources:, .--Michig (talk) 09:23, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, there are always different opinions about what constitutes significant coverage, and what is a reliable source. However, neither of these looks like very substantial coverage to me, and okayplayer ("an online hip-hop and alternative music website and community" according to its WP article) seems to be a very parochial web site, devoted to publicising everything and anything to do with hip-hop, so that mention there does not really indicate notability. Vaporsmagazine is better, but it is scarcely a major publication, and a single one-paragraph review there is only a very slight indication of notability: I cannot see it as substantial coverage.

Note: Still no consensus, actually no options mentionned so it is relisted a second time. JForget 21:06, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The coverage is just enough to constitute multiple significant coverage in reliable sources. Okayplayer is an accepted reliable source. The fact that it concentrates on hip hop doesn't make it less reliable than a site that concentrates on any other genre.--Michig (talk) 05:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
