King Felix on nme (music news website) King Felix official music video with over 300,000 views and comments for a single video.

Gene93k is believed to be abusing the topic King Felix. Reasoning: multiple source proof of king felix sources moved and ignored by user Gene93k on multiple entries. example published magazine bunker hill reference post of king felix music repeatedly denied by user Gene93k. This leads to reasoning that Gene93k is vandalising/abusing information on this topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iwoulddawforyou (talk • contribs) — Iwoulddawforyou (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

This Goup does hold notability. released tracks on multiple record labels, porcs records, itchy tasty records, and group in union with ascap registration with songs home free, medicinal hookers,

most releases appear to be online only, Again This is not true, I have linked physical copies to King Felix's albums on discogs, amazon and more already. and again stated numerous sources on their impact and interaction with the edm community.

 * Delete The group is only a year two years old and has not achieved the recognition required for a Wikipedia page. Although the article contains nearly 40 reference citations, none of them are to independent reliable sources, and the attempts by the SPAs to flood this discussion with links and images do not add to the group's notability. Note also that there is a page for King Felix which used to be a redirect to Félix Hernández (a ball player nicknamed King Felix); the creator of this article changed the page King Felix to a dab page, but IMO it should be restored to redirect status and possibly salted, as per the previous AfD discussion Articles for deletion/King Felix. --MelanieN (talk) 15:49, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Sources are independent of king felix, ie porcs records, Itchy Tasty Records, bunker hill published printed magazine, peace love edm, nme. None of these were posted or created by king felix. also the groups formation was in 2011. King felix is more than a year old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iwoulddawforyou (talk • contribs) 09:28, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Labels connected to the band are obviously not independent parties. The NME page is user-generated content (so does little to establish notability), and links to a performance hosted by a magazine isn't coverage. LIkewise, image searches establish nothing. See WP:BAND for the relevant criteria. Hairhorn (talk) 16:19, 13 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. Flooding an article and an afd with bad sources and pictures does not make a band notable. King Felix lacks any depth of coverage in independent reliable sources. I see nothing that satisfies WP:MUSIC. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:21, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
