Fails WP:ORG. Non-notable organization. Trivial mention of "Chopstars" in sources cited. Unable to find reliable secondary sources to support notability. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:46, 21 February 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

What is the issue with these pages? If you google The Chopstars or Chopstars and click news you will find ANY CREDIBLE sources where they are mentioned or the article is about them. They are official South by Southwest artist, OVO Sound DJs and have worked with the director Barry Jenkins on his Moonlight soundtrack does meet wiki standards? Here is some info And DJ Hollygrove was a producer on a Viceland show User:Ocean03 16:54 (UTC)


 * Comment - Regarding each of the three sources listed above, it's difficult to see how they could contribute to the notability of "The Chopstars".
 * The first source has one sentence: "'Chopped and screwed' is the name given to the fogged, narcotized sound created by Houston's DJ Screw." That's all.  There is nothing to support the notability of an organization called "The Chopstars".  Remember, the genre chopped and screwed already has an article.
 * The second source says four words about The Chopsters: "Houston collective, The Chopstar".
 * The third source does not even mention "Chopstar". Magnolia677 (talk) 12:14, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep Significant coverage in NPR, Houston Press, Los Angeles Times, and Yahoo Movies fully qualifies as passing WP:GNG. As  says, this was easy to find and suggests a step in WP:BEFORE may have been missed.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 04:28, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you please add a link here to the articles you mentioned which could support the notability of an organization called "The Chopstars"? Thank you.  Magnolia677 (talk) 11:57, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * You know, you should have done this yourself before nominating, or else withdrawn the nomination if you were unwilling to put in the effort. But, hey, I'm generally willing to help another editor out, so here you go: NPR, Houston Press, Los Angeles Times, and Yahoo Movies. That's just in the first page of 2410 Google News results.

 * Comment - Regarding each of the sources you have listed above:
 * The first is the same source listed far above by User:Ocean03. This source has one sentence: "'Chopped and screwed' is the name given to the fogged, narcotized sound created by Houston's DJ Screw."  That's all.  There is nothing to support the notability of an organization called "The Chopsters".  Remember, the genre chopped and screwed already has an article.
 * The second source mentions "The Chopstars" a few times, without saying who or what they are. This source does little to support the notability of something called "The Chopstars".
 * The third source is a dead link.
 * The fourth source states "to create the mix, the filmmaker worked with OG Ron C and the Chopstars, who gave the tracks their chopped-and-screwed treatment." A one-word mention in one sentence.  These sources hardly contribute to the establishment of notability.  Magnolia677 (talk) 17:01, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * This has to be the most picayune and excessively-literal attempt to minimize WP:RS I've seen in AfD for a long time. You dismiss the NPR review because another editor already linked to it, which implies you didn't read it thoroughly the first time. There is literally five paragraphs about this music group and their collaboration with an Oscar-winning filmmaker in the first source alone. I trust the closing admin to read these sources themselves, so I don't feel I need to further dispute your assessments.  Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:12, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * User:Eggishorn - Your insults and reference to "WP:BEFORE" are an inappropriate smokescreen to hide your shoddy sources, and any capable closing admin will see this. Please locate some reliable secondary sources to support notability, and stop your incivility and drama. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:23, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If you think you have a valid user behavior complaint, you know where to go. If you can identify where I talked about you as an editor and not your posts, you know where to find my talk page.Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:26, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I am also concerned about this being a notable 'group'. Inlinetext (talk) 16:42, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
