Deleted severally in the past even for

WP:RS. One is an interview. The topic needs more news-related sources. The scorecard on Googlenews is quite abysmal. Wondering why you're defending this why we vote "delete" on many other better-written pages with good number of sources. Estarosmārṭ (talk) 20:19, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Soft Delete with possible
  refund - This one is tough. I voted to delete this group's article in the first AfD about 4.5 months ago. Since then they really have won the South African Music Award for Record of the Year, which is visible in several media sources about the awards ceremony (e.g. [1], [2]). That is a viable claim of notability. However they have practically no other media coverage outside of that award, and are only found in the same press releases and manager-planted stories as before. Perhaps with a big award win they will generate some notability going forward but it has not happened yet. If it happens, my precise recommendation for the "soft delete" procedure would allow the article to be re-created easily. ☆☆☆ DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:47, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Keep passes
  WP:NMUSIC (only one criteria needed) with receiving a major music award as confirmed by reliable sources. The coverage is basic but the award negates that in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 18:50, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Keep. They've won an award which passes

• Don’t they technically pass GNG if they win a non-trivial award? I believe so. Because of that, Keep. Foxnpichu (talk) 19:52, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Update (voted above): To avoid pointless re-listings for the next several weeks, I have no problem with keeping the article because the voters after me have made convincing points. ☆☆☆ DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:31, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
