The result was   keep. but wikify. As Doc and Niteshift said, they have charted twice. That passes WP:MUSIC. ( X! ·  talk )  · @822  · 18:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Top authority (rap group)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Found this while new page patrolling yesterday. I was tempted to speedy, but the group does exist and it has an appreciable number of Ghits, but not much, if any, seem to be reliable sources. Nosleep break my slumber 13:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

User created the page as Top authority some four hours after creating the page nominated for deletion here. It was previously A7'd as Top authority (gangster rap), but no previous deletion discussion has taken place. Given the user's seeming proclivity for recreating the article, I think it's a good idea that that be done, to open it up to G4. Nosleep break my slumber 16:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Nothing in the article to show notability and apparently no intention of the author to supply it.  Favonian (talk) 15:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Keep I've never heard of them, but they do indeed have a handful of charting albums and one entry on the Hot Rap Singles chart. That sufficiently passes WP:MUSIC. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 05:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Top Authority's Somethin' to Blaze To was #21 on Billboard's Top R&B Albums chart in April 1994 and Rated G reached #16 in early 1996, satisfying WP:Music. "Correct title and improve" would be good. 86.44.29.130 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 03:05, 25 July 2009 (UTC).
 * Keep. Barely notable. They did chart twice: Rated G at #144 and Top Authority at #192. The only chart that really matters is the Top 200. Heatseekers etc. don't really establish notability. Niteshift36 (talk) 20:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If the article is going to be kept, it's in serious need of wikifying. Nosleep  break my slumber 17:46, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
