The show broadway group

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I'm skeptical of the validity of this article. The group won "The Music Award": What is "The Music Award"? It was "nominated" for best jazz single at the Akademia Music Awards: Artists "nominate" themselves for these "awards"—for a fee—according to this. And these "awards", which seem to consist of their hosting a web page for your group, are given out every month. I guess it's what you'd call a vanity award service.

"TOP 20 world's best jazz musicians", according to whom? The author wrote "a 16th place in world ranking"; the source, from which these several sentences were otherwise copied, says 62nd. Either way, world ranking according to whom? And the group certainly doesn't pass WP:GNG. No applicable coverage. Largoplazo (talk) 11:25, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, Largos rationale is sound-- Jac 16888 Talk 19:24, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. I smell a huge amount of WP:PROMO here: the references in the text are to "The Akademia" - this is the organization that gave the group their "music award", and which states on its home page that its business is helping promote new acts, so it's a marketing agency. The one in-line reference is to a blog site for "mrgorbunoff": a bit of googling brings up Igor Gorbunoff, whose social media accounts are full of references and links promoting the Akademia and the Show Broadway Group, and almost nothing else. Oh, and "Mrgorbunoff" just happens to be the username of the editor who created the article. Richard3120 (talk) 22:25, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
