The result was no consensus. There is no convincing arguments for keep or delete in this debate. Debut is not a reliable way of gauging notability, nor it's a reliable way to rule out notability. Yamamoto Ichiro (talk) 10:32, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete and then Redirect if needed to the agency as this is too soon at best and is not yet solidly acceptable. SwisterTwister   talk  19:31, 7 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Per nomination. Too soon, and this is just a very minor boy band. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:43, 7 April 2016 (UTC) 7 April 2016
 * Keep now it debuted. FudgeFury  ( talk &#124; sign &#124; contribs ) 15:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment – I predict this AfD will be very similar to Articles for deletion/Red Velvet (band). There is almost no chance of this group not being notable in a week or two. Random86 (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep It debuted with several music videos under one of the biggest labels in that country. They may be new but they'll be big fast. ₪Rick n Asia₪
 * Keep Debut in Korea is scheduled for April 15th. The members all come from a popular show in Korea entitled SM Rookies, where you follow the journey of trainees from SM Entertainment--this means they already have considerable notoriety pre-debut. Also, their music videos have already garnered (as of 4/13/2016 @14:42) 3,129,654 for "The 7th Sense", 1,326,347 for "Without You", and 937,610 for "The 7th Sense--Performance Video", and they were all released within the last 4 days. The group is also part of a major content reorganization for one of the largest music entertainment companies in South Korea, SM Entertainment: NCT U is just one of many planned groups debuting under the "NCT brand", and they are expected to perform very well in the South Korean charts as well as in major overseas Korean music markets because of aforementioned pre-debut activities and other marketing strategies by SM Entertainment.

 * Not that it matters but SM Rookies was never a show. It's just what SM calls their rookies and they put a few of them on some programs when they can but most of them aren't well known to the public the way the girls of produce 101 are.Peachywink (talk) 05:40, 14 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep Whatever might be said of this group at the beginning of the nomination, notability is now firmly established. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 21:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep They're going to be famous so soon that I don't see the practicality in deleting the page. But it does need revision as some of the facts on the page are wrong, such as the members list.Peachywink (talk) 05:44, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
