Xing (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a band which lacks enough reliable sources to meet WP:GNG and has failed all points of WP:NMUSIC - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 01:22, 3 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Note - this page was recently overwritten of the following Korean band; see this revision. Though poorly sourced, it has remained the stable page for several years and should consider reverting back to this one rather than deleting the entire page history.

 * Thank you for the info, even the previous page looks to fail under the same criteria as the nomination though so at this point I think it best served with deletion.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 02:59, 3 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete both versions of the article. One tried and failed to make a mark, the other hasn't made a mark yet. - Richfife (talk) 15:06, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Revert to version on Korean band. I actually have no opinion on the UK band (current version) but the now-disbanded Korean group is notable (though not particularly successful).   They charted on the RIAK (pre-Gaon) charts  at least once, but some of their releases came out during the period when Korea had no chart (Oct 2008 to Jan 2010).  Their name is hard to search for because "씽" (name in Korean) is part of many other words.  However, they received decent coverage in Korean-language reliable sources (,, ,  are a few examples).  When it comes to older Korean pop artists, I tend to be conservative in deleting them because of the time & difficulty required to find extensive RS (see systemic bias issues).  Part of their notability these days stems from them being the group many, many current kpop stars got their start in.  Not to invoke "other stuff exists" arguments (which I despise), but we do have articles on many new kpop artists with a lot fewer releases.  The article needs work, but I think it's doable.
