Fails WP:V and WP:GNG. I am unable to find any reliable sources to verify any of the other information in the article besides the fact that they were indeed listed with On-U Sound Records. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 19:48, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Singers & Players was effectively a reggae supergroup of notable musicians including Adrian Sherwood, Lincoln "Style" Scott (Roots Radics), Roydel Johnson with regular contributing vocalists such as Prince Far I and Bim Sherman contributing. A search for 'singers players adrian sherwood' found these on the first page of Google Books results: VIBE, SPIN, CMJ New Music Monthly, then there's Global Rhythm, Rock: The Rough Guide, Reggae & Caribbean Music, The Rough Guide to Reggae. With Sherwood being (I think) the only constant in the group as producer, merging there may be appropriate, but this is certainly a notable group/collective, and certainly doesn't fail WP:V. --Michig (talk) 20:18, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I can't find reliable sources. The Banner talk 09:54, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Michig demonstrates plenty of coverage in reliable sources, and the band released albums on Cherry Red Records and On-U Sound Records. Meets WP:BAND. — sparklism hey! 07:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
