SM the Performance

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC; article has zero secondary reliable sources. This is a group created by SM Entertainment and composed of members of existing SM Entertainment groups, whose purpose was to perform one time at one of Korea's big year-end music festivals. I can't really see that a standalone article is useful for this one-off event group, as there is no biographical information to include (all members are discussed elsewhere, in their own or group's article), no discussion of how the group formed (it was done by a big company for one event), nothing to say about their musical style (it was one song, a cover of an existing song by Zedd), no controversy or critical response. There's literally nothing to say about this "group" other than "here are the members and they performed this song one time." The year-end music festival at which they performed frequently have many "special groups" like this one perform, and none of them have Wikipedia articles; SM Entertainment just gave this one a name so an SM fanatic made an article for them. If not already there, it might be worth a mention in each participant's article and/or the SM Town article, but I think just typing it into those articles would be preferable that trying to merge or something official like that. since this article has no RS anyway.

 * Delete per nom. This is very similar to Younique Unit (another temporary project group). There is no reason for this to have an article. Random86 (talk) 06:49, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
