Music group which fails WP:MUSIC and lacks non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. No matches were found in the Google News Archive (all dates searched). JBsupreme (talk) 05:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with Esham. This is not notable on its own.  --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 06:07, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Esham was with this group only briefly, I don't think a merge is appropriate in this particular case. JBsupreme (talk) 06:15, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep It passes the WP:MUSIC because it holds true numbers 2, 5, and 6 in "Criteria for musicians and ensembles". I can reference the article from their website using archive.org, as well as reference their four chart positions from allmusic.com and eonline.com. I can also try and search for other sites so it can hold true number 1 too. But I would much rather not if this article would ultimately be deleted anyway and all my work be in vain.Juggalobrink (talk) 15:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The requirement for articles is non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. If you are able to locate such coverage, please let everyone know.  JBsupreme (talk) 17:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've only found a few sites |VILLAINZ\\'&sql=11:jzfwxqesldhe~T5 Allmusic and eOnline, which both only state chart positions so I'm guessing they're considered trival coverage. I've also found an extremely short review of Furious from CD Universe which could possibly be used, but I'm not sure it's reliable. I haven't really searched though.Juggalobrink (talk) 20:17, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep — Group is made up of three notable artists: Esham and Insane Clown Posse members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 13:36, 12 August 2008 (UTC))
