Wild Ripperz Crew

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject is a dance crew that came in second place in a national competition (though in the rather small country of Nepal). I doubt that is sufficient to establish encyclopedic notability bd2412  T 00:22, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment/Correction: Although I am skeptical of their notability as well and would have to look into it further before casting a "vote", I think the dance competition was Indian. I doubt it was national but probably more significant than one is liable to think, considering the size and population of South Asia (maybe just India with exceptions for Nepalese brethren) and the popularity of Star Plus in South Asia and elsewhere.

 * Also, with apologies, I don't think AfDs should be used as testing grounds for resolving one's doubts, especially not as a substitute for in-depth look at the article/subject that the AfD is about; unless you are testing novice editors like me, in which case, what do I win? :D Usedtobecool  TALK  04:51, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You are correct, the competition was in India. The dance crew is from Nepal. As for WP:BEFORE, to which you allude, there is not much there. A handful of mentions in the media, but I see nothing in-depth in any highly reliable source. bd2412  T 23:37, 10 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete: The only coverage that comes anywhere close to independent RS is this. But it's not nearly enough. It doesn't meet WP:GNG. Unless there's exceptions for dance crews, I don't see how it can stay. For a dance crew, they seem to be fairly accomplished, and the WP:NOTEBOMB in the article attests to that, it's a shame there's no SIGCOV. The page creator seems to have joined about a month ago, solely to work on this article. Since they've got a zillion refs for notebombing, I think we can be fairly certain, this is the best coverage even the most diligent digging could recover.

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG due to only very poor sources existing aside from one decent source. Would need sustained WP:SIGCOV to keep, but we are nowhere near there. This dance group just isn't notable. Newshunter12 (talk) 07:14, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
