Nu Flavor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Since a user objected to the PROD on this article, I am now bringing it to AfD. This group fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage from reliable third-party sources. The AllMusic ref just contains a simple paragraph, and the TV.com ref only gives them one brief passing mention on a cast list. Should be deleted as there is nothing to redirect to.

 * Delete – notability has not been established. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:26, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Strikethrough above, due to much-improved sourcing since the comment was made. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:27, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article is now notable due to major expansion - the band has had hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 (as well as other Billboard charts) which easily meets WP:BAND; highest charting single on the Hot 100 is "Heaven" which reached #27. The AllMusic ref is reliable and is used as a source for the article's content; the TV.com ref is to support the claim they were featured on Beverly Hills 90210 which clearly lists them on the cast list, that's all that needs to be proven. Article now well-sourced and notable. -Hiddenstranger (talk) 13:00, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * AllMusic most certainly is reliable, but the biography they give on their group is rather brief. As for the other references you added, the Billboard chart is the same page used five times. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * The AllMusic bio covers the main basic details which should be included in any band article - when and how they formed, where they hail from, history of the band, their discography plus any notable chart hits. It doesn't matter if one ref is cited 5 times to the same source, that source is just to prove the peak chart positions on the Billboard Hot 100 for each of those singles. Peak positions on the other Billboard charts are also included and sourced. Out of all the criteria at WP:BAND, the band now meets at least five of them. One is the band's chart hits on the Hot 100 which was missing prior to the significant changes; the article is now notable. External links about the band have also been added.

 * Keep. Two major label albums, several hit records. Easily passes WP:NMUSIC and pretty clearly a topic that should be covered here. --Michig (talk) 16:40, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing AfD due to article now having sufficient coverage for notability criteria. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 17:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
