MC J and Cool G

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

Unsourced article with unsupported minor claim to notability (first black act on Capitol in Canada - if you believe it, and if something so specific is actually notable, since it's only one label in one market). Guy (Help!) 20:54, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non notable, failed act. Fails WP:BAND completely.   SIS   21:28, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

*Delete, while being nominated for Juno allows them to pass WP:MUSIC, the huge lack of results when searching for WP:RS to back it up doesn't. Keep, enough WP:RS for them to pass WP:MUSIC. Also I agree that it should be moved to "MCJ & Cool G" if it survives this AfD.  Esradekan Gibb   "Talk" 04:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article is very new (days old) and is missing references (I've tagged it with unref). However, they meet criteria #8 of WP:MUSIC having been nominated for four Juno Awards (not 3 as claimed in the article).  Using the Juno Archive, a search for artist "MCJ & Cool G" shows nominations for "1994 - Best R&B/Soul Recording", "1991 - Best R&B/Soul Recording", "1991 - Rap Recording of the Year", and "1991 - Single of the Year". -- Whpq (talk) 16:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Here is some more info which would support notability Canadian Encyclopedia entry on Rap, and their entry in the Canadian Pop Encyclopedia. I suspect coverage is in offline sources as a group with 4 Juno nominations would get some form of coverage for their work.  -- Whpq (talk) 16:58, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - Based on the sources that I've found, it would appear that the article should be named MCJ and Cool G. -- Whpq (talk) 18:10, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - I have now revamped the article by adding the references I found above, and some additional ones into the article, as well as applying some copyeditting and expansion. I believe it now meets WP:MUSIC with WP:RS and WP:V fulfilled as well. -- Whpq (talk) 21:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


 * References have been improved; group is sufficiently notable per WP:MUSIC. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 14:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
