The result was   Keep. Opinions are divided, but enough sources given to keep this in line with our guidelines and policies. Minor comment: Google News lists a number of other ones, including the LA Times: "PING PONG BITCHES. Their crude, hard-hitting electro-punk may be only slightly above karaoke quality", which is perfectly in line with Sparklism description... Fram (talk) 08:16, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Ping Pong Bitches

Doesn't appear to satisfy WP:MUSIC. Connection to The Prodigy is tenuous at best, and even if it were not, it's not (IMO) a sufficient criterion for notability. &mdash; flamingspinach | (talk) 08:26, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Group is unnotable at present. No reliable references or top 40 hits are given. Artene50 (talk) 09:12, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, cant find anything that would pass any of the 12 criteria of WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw these girls supporting Har Mar Superstar in Brighton years ago - they truly were unbelievably shite. In fact they were so bad that I broke the habit of a lifetime and barracked them throughout their set, at the end of which some guy wandered up to me and shook my hand. "Couldn't agree more mate," he said, "this is just bad karaoke". That aside, I've found this, this, this and even |PONG|BITCHES&sql=11:anftxq9kldse~T1 this. So, even though I'd like to see them forever erased from the face of the planet by a team of twenty-foot aliens with haemorrhoids and some kind of really big thermonuclear laser device, they easily meet WP:MUSIC by passing criterion #1. Keep. sparkl!sm hey! 20:20, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Sparklism. Bondegezou (talk) 23:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I was in the process of closing this as delete. Sparkism will be pleased to know the sources cited do not meet WP:RS as they are not from published sources and do not appear to have sufficient peer review to be accepted as reliable on-line sources. This group do not therefore meet MUSIC. Delete Spartaz Humbug! 20:39, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Allmusic is just about the most reliable online source about music of them all, so since there is a reasonable amount of information about the band on that website it surely deserves an article in wikipedia.DubZog (talk) 21:49, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:N and WP:MUSIC. Edison (talk) 02:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think there are too many band articles, but I found another link and I wasn't even trying hard. www.independent.co.uk, doesn't that not fail "It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable." in WP:MUSIC?

 * Comment Just to clarify: if it's non-trivial mentions in reliable sources we're looking for then we have |PONG|BITCHES&sql=11:anftxq9kldse~T1 a biog at Allmusic, an album review from The Independent and a live review from The Guardian, not to mention a few others mentioned above (which I agree may or may not be reliable). I'm sure that should satisfy WP:MUSIC. sparkl!sm hey! 20:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
