Meridian Crew

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Small music group only notable for part of their group being involved in a murder trial. Lacks secondary sources, unlikely to expand. Nordic  Nightfury  14:14, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete A terse entry with a sensationalist overtone. There's nothing in the article that tells us why  this "grime" band and the related convictions deserve an encyclopedia entry any more than the other gazillion murders every year. The article seems to lack any recognizable import.  Is it intended to be more about "grime" bands in general? this band in particular? or  the murders the article claims some members were convicted of? This would probably be great for a "Wiki-National Enquirer," not a general encyclopedia of useful knowledge.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:445:8002:BC40:D881:6C8:35AC:EA7C (talk) 15:47, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Boy Better Know: Jme and very obviously Skepta have since gone on to bigger and better things, but if the Meridian Crew have any notability at all it is for the murder trial, which is purely WP:ONEEVENT. The BBC news source in the article doesn't mention any of the crew's notable members, or even give the crew a name, so it provides no support to this article at all – in any case the ONEEVENT is mentioned in the Boy Better Know article as well, so there is no need for this article as well.

 * Delete I doubted it's notability months before but never got around to AfD this. I cannot see how this is notable other the murder trial though I won't mind on a merge as mentioned above. Donnie Park (talk) 17:18, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
