Strange Fruit Project

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Nom no evidence of notability per WP:MUSIC. There are two external links, one is broken and the other doesn't mention anything about the group. There are two references - both broken. The group claims to be "underground" - but I think "dead and buried" would be more accurate. withdrawn Rklawton (talk) 19:32, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, perilously close to an A7 and would be one if we removed unsourced peacock terms. Guy (Help!) 19:39, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. Did you not notice the link to an Allmusic biography in the article? The URL is incorrect but a quick search at Allmusic would get you to |FRUIT|PROJECT&sql=11:0ifyxq9dldse~T1 this. Or the link to a substantial Allmusic review in their album's article? Did you not find these when you Googled the group's name: PopMatters, Prefix magazine, PopMatters, Dallas Observer, Waco Tribune-Herald, Oakland Tribune, Dallas Observer, San Francisco Chronicle? And there's more coverage out there. Clearly passes WP:GNG and WP:BAND.--Michig (talk) 08:26, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: It appears that this group is notable based on the new refernces presented here. I assume the confusion was that this group has gone by a lot of different names. Is this correct? For example the chronicle article seems to suggest the the fruit project name is a name of one of their songs and not the band name. I just skimmed it so perhaps I am ill informed, however it appears to be a keep via WP:GNG.MATThematical (talk) 19:03, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The Chronicle article includes "Om recently released Strange Fruit Project's "The Healing." The album has already garnered some of the strongest reviews in the label's history and lodged in the top 10 on the iTunes charts". I'm not aware that they have gone by different names. If you take a look at the article now, there are several further sources covering the group.--Michig (talk) 19:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
