RAN (Indonesian group)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Minimally active since only 3 albums listed and news found are only a few news articles from the past 4 years showing there's still no actual genuine substanc for notability here, and there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else. Simply being signed at a label is not at all a convincing factor since we've deleted several articles which were signed but not convincing in actual substance as is the case here, and my own searches of Indonesia newspapers found nothing but few news stories (Jakarta Post, whereas Jakarta Globe found nothing), and likewise, singles themselves are not an instant notability inheritance. For example, this shows the available news but they noticeably consist of only entertainment blogs and similar. SwisterTwister  talk  01:12, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Deletion rationale makes no sense. This is a group that has been together for over 10 years, in which time they have released five albums, at least four on Universal Records, and they have had hit singles in Indonesia - all sourced. Comfortably satisfies WP:NMUSIC. --Michig (talk) 07:02, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
