Fails WP:BAND The Evil Spartan 00:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Neutral for now. I tagged the page with a speedy when it first came up, then saw that it was asserting some notability, so gave the editor time to clean it up a bit.  When I still thought it failed WP:MUSIC, I prod'd it, which they removed.  Most recently, I cleaned the article up a bit and have invited the original editor (a single purpose account) to review WP:MUSIC and explain how it is notable.  I've also thrown out a line at the reference desk.   Into The Fray   T / C  00:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - well, I see they made it back to touch up my cleanup, but neglected to answer my questions on the discussion page or particpate here.  Into The Fray   T / C  11:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, but certainly not speedy. They assert notability, but show no evidence.  If I can get some form of proof of notability, I'll change my mind. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 00:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, it asserts notability, but the only hits from a few search engines were anything besides myspace. Since it has no sources, it'll have to be deleted, but go ahead and add them if you have better luck than I. If so, I'll change my mind. *Cremepuff  222*  01:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete A search on Google for "LFMG band -wikipedia -myspace" gets me a forum about Saturday Night Live and a bunch of pages on molecular biology, of all things. If references can be added to back up the claims to notability, great, otherwise, delete it. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 04:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep Finally figured out how to post on here..I kept going to the talk page, I am fairly new at editing pages on here(disputes, etc.)...What search engine are you guys searching on??? Search LFMG or lfmg or "Left Field Muzik Group" on google or yahoo. Search it on Napster, iTunes, Rhapsody, etc. I can't find any articles online..but that is not the case only for us, i've tried other famous artists as well and can't find their album reviews either? ..I can't find the article on MiamiHerald.com or Miami Times to link to or other articles that were written but, I have the actual copies of the Papers? Maybe some advice on what I can do to verify notability? All I can think of is uploading images or sending copies of material??? This is not a world famous band...Neither is Baby Sham of Flip Mode Squad(Whom we have produced for) or Money Mark. I can't find proof for most of the "features" Money Mark's Wikipedia page says he's done but, I know he's done them..from living in Miami and knowing his music. We're requestable on every station in Miami(college radio also)..we have also had plays on all these stations and continue to get plays on College Radio weekly(UM/F.I.U/Miami-Dade Community/F.A.U./etc.) As far as The Molecular Biology thing...that has not come up on any hits for me. LFMG is also a lawyers group called Law Fund Management Group..nothing to do with LFMG the music group. If the page is going to be deleted there is nothing I can do about it..just help me with some ideas on how to prove notability..i'm out of them. All i can think of us is searches and uploads. Maybe a little more time would help me think of other links I could find. If you search LFMG you should get more hits than myspace. This is the best i can do, though it doesn't help much. This is a link to a schedule for performers for SuperMotorFest '07 at the Orange Bowl..It has us listed as "LeftField" early Saturday because the Webpage was never updated..but we ended up playing both days and on the Main Stage replacing "Platanos" and opening for PitBull(F.Y.I. This was not the first or last time we have opened for Pit or Rick Ross, Whom though not on the schedule also performed later that evening): http://www.supermotorfest.com/super_motor_fest.html Scroll down to the "HipHop Stage"..If you noticed "Molly Hatchet" also played there...Sorry so long winded..Leftfieldmuzik 23:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Leftfieldmuzik
 * Comment - I've repeatedly directed you to WP:MUSIC to tell us which criteria LFMG satisfies. For musicians and ensembles, there are 12 criteria.  Based on what you've said above, you have partial support for #1 (you have been written about in The Miami Herald) and perhaps support for #10 in that you performed at what might be a notable event.  You do not need to upload your sources.  We assume good faith here.  They merely need to be verifiable sources.  So, what date of the Miami Herald were you written up in, etc?  Please read the links I keep giving you.   Into The Fray   T / C  23:42, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - The article was in The Living & Arts Section: May 9, 2006. Like I said: I have searched it..and can not find it in the archives online. I also can not find the Sun-Sentinel article or the Miami Times article(s)(2)..but I have copies in front of me. As for SuperMotorFest..It was a pretty well promoted event...it was at A Car Show @ The Orange Bowl??? Promoters don't rent out the Orange Bowl with the intention of putting together small, not notable events? There were THREE different stages playing live music simultaneously..The Event Schedule proves that. It was a genre mixing event..We were on flyers and posters all around Miami promoting the event(It's was a Car Show, please do not think the website reflects the way it was promoted) There were commercials on T.V.(we were not mentioned in the commercials, but the concerts were) ..this was a 2 day event. You ever heard of South Beach??? If you live in Miami..go look at the poster walls on Washington/Ocean. There are a lot of LFMG posters...performed every weekend @ Clubs all over South Beach and Dade County/Broward for several years. If I only have to fill one criteria..than most definitely performed @ several notable events: Super Motor Fest '07(7,000 to 12,000 people at the event), Miami Apollo @ The Joseph Caleb Center, which broadcast on a local station at a later date(not national broadcast, but it was a notable "Live event"(3100 hundred people, sold out..also placed second), The Arabian Nights Festival: a yearly parade in Opa-Locka, Florida that has thousands in attendance always(have performed at this event for 4 years)..as well as preforming weekly locally for years. So #10 should be unquestionably met. In all technicalities #1 should also be met. All those papers I mentioned are the three largest Newspapers in Miami-Dade/Broward Counties. Not to mention being written about in not 1 but, 4 College Papers..which I believe means created atleast a significant buzz in those schools radio stations. Miami-Dade Community, UM South, F.I.U. North, and F.A.U. papers gave us a mention. There are a lot of artists who are Off the Radar..LFMG is one of those groups right now but, still notable. And I believe satisfies the requirements for #1(though can not find articles online myself) and #10 is met undoubtedly. But I see it is open to interpretation and in all rights..this is the only way to keep things fair and prevent this from becoming an advertising board. I respect the rules and have a better understanding of them and now definitely know this group's notability requirements are met. I will try to find the articles by searching under "LeftField or Left Field Muzik Group" the group was better known as LeftField from 2002-2005..this is why, for legal and promotional reasons, the group name is LFMG(to distinguish from Leftfield the Electronica group). That has happened. Leftfieldmuzik 05:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)Leftfieldmuzik
