The Regime (group)

Article about gangsta rap group that fails notability guideline for music: No reviews, external coverage, charts, or awards. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 23:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC) For this reason I also nominate pages about their albums:
 * The "albums" were deleted a while back due to the fact they're actually "mixtapes," so I don't really argue against that. However in regards to the group themselves, note that criteria #6 of WP:Music states "or an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians." I believe Yukmouth's (the founder) notability has been established through the fact he went platinum as a part of the Luniz and has had his debut album certified gold, nominated for an award through that collaboration, etc. Tech N9ne is another who's notability has stood ground over the years for charting numerous times on the Billboard 200 and charting highly on the Independent chart. Dru Down is a third member who has had an article for some time, so I assume his notability still stands. Jamal Phillips is a fourth member who looks to stand the notability test. There are several notable members in this collective, which appears to slide this article in under #6. *Shrugs* Mizery Made  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 23:55, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep the band per WP:MUSIC. Delete the albums for a lack of significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. Nothing to merge due to the lack of said sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Klat" 05:25, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
 * The article could definitely stand some work, but I still think it falls under #6 of WP:Music, which has me thinking it should stay. If there is enough support against it having an article of it's own however, I would then suggest the idea of merging it into Yukmouth's page (since he's the founder of the group) or the Smoke-A-Lot Records page (since that's Yuk's label and the label's site has the group on their roster page). Of those two, Yuk's page would probably make more sense. Mizery Made  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 00:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep the main article because it meets C6, as pointed out above. As for the albums, if they're not notable enough for a stand alone articles, they should be merged into the band article. Maybe I'm missing something, but "The Regime" is written on the cover of the album, so I don't know why we're uncertain whether the albums do belong or don't belong to the band arrticle.--Pink Bull (talk) 03:04, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
