I've been thinking about this for a while, and what clinched it for me is that an IP has recently started adding WP:BLP-violating content to the article. I think that, as we are dealing with minors, we should write an article about the song and include just a summary of the girls there, preferably one that doesn't use the Daily Mail as a source.

 * Keep Subjects clearly meet WP:MUSBIO. Not sure what their ages or the Daily Mail have to do with anything. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:54, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. They're likely only to be notable for the one song and album, but they did chart (album and the single) and there is coverage. I'd say that it's better to have an article for the group and expand the article to discuss the song in more depth than it would be to have an article about the specific song. The thing to remember about articles about minors is that we tend to only delete articles or focus on other things when the article itself would be harmful for them. In this particular instance they're known for something fairly good. It'd be different if we were writing about say, a teenager who was known for throwing a particular destructive party or was known for being abused in some way. That's the situation where we'd invoke the "no harm to minors" thing and either delete it outright or make it into a small subsection in an article (and not name names). The point is that the names of these children were deliberately made public for publicity and with the consent of their parents. It's a different situation entirely.

 * Keep per Tokyogirl79's rationale. Info on the group's charting single and album can appropriately be contained within the article, which appears to meet WP:MUSICBIO.  Gongshow   talk  17:47, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
