The result was   Withdrawn. My nom was obviously poorly researched. To my credit, the articles are not new, yet are most all wholly unreferenced, giving no indication of notable singles, albums or members. Jennavecia (Talk)  16:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Appears notable, two major releases- one on Koch, one on Colombia. Also, I know google isn't a reliable indicator, but it pulls up over 100,000 hits on Ante Up alone.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.181.195.10 (talk) 15:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - significant chart activity in Billboard, also achieved two top 10 hits in the UK in 2001 (offline source: The Book of British Hit Singles and Albums), Google News search shows coverage in Rolling Stone, Music Week and several newspapers - group definitely seems notable -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Two UK Top 10 hits, plus major-label releases. It isn't hard to find reliable sources either, look here and here. sparkl!sm hey! 15:33, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand several chart singles, releases on notable labels, seems good enough for me. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Weird nom. Firing Squad (1996) is considered a classic, e.g. by Brian Coleman in Check the Technique, 2nd. ed., New York: Villard, 2007. ISBN 978-0812977752 pp. 276–288 (a whole chapter) while Peter Shapiro (who prefers First Family 4 Life (1998) and thinks Warriorz (2000) is better than both) notes that "Ante Up" (a "classic", in his words and in the words of most other people who know about the subject) and "Cold as Ice" were both top ten hits in the UK.(Rough Guide to Hip Hop, 2nd. ed., London: Rough Guides, 2005. ISBN 978-1843532637 pp. 259–261.) The greatest hits compilation 10 Years And Gunnin '  (2003) is available on Columbia. 86.44.23.229 (talk) 16:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
