Incomplete nomination from Introgressive (talk · contribs), with an editing summary of "No references, band vanity, what else?" Procedural nomination - no vote. - Mike Rosoft 12:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:N. Fails WP:MUSIC. Nenyedi • (Deeds•Talk) 14:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Are either Nippon Crown or Meldac notable record companies? Because, if so, this would barely pass WP:MUSIC as, per All-Music Guide, they have an album out on Sony. If not, delete.--Sethacus 16:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I know it's not admissible as evidence of notability, but the band biography on their website suggests they've got a whole lot of albums, and have toured numerous times throughout Japan and SE Asia. The volume of albums is pretty damn impressive, at a glance. However, my Japanese consists of about twenty words, most of which are sushi dishes, so I can't say anything about reliable sources for now - but I've got a friend whose masters thesis was on Japanese music, whom I'll check with tonight.
Neutralleaning towards keep until I've got something to work with. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, keep - for one, they've got a huge discography (42 albums, which do include some karaoke collections, but still), and their bio indicates they've toured regularly. They have a radio show on Tokyo FM, and were one of the bands that competed in the 1991 (I think) NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, which is generally reserved for one of the best bands of the year. They have an article on .ja; Nippon Crown is located here as well. I'm going to flag this discussion for attention from our Japanese associates to help with sourcing, just to help out.

- Comment if delete, the dab page should replace the deleted page. 70.55.85.118 07:03, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep 何も言えなくて...夏 returns almost 50k ghits, combined with jaywalk it's still close to 20k. Also, pretty sure Nippon Crown is a major label (and according to Wikip, has been around since 1963). Precious Roy 16:46, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per the above arguments to keep. Seems like they pass WP:MUSIC.--Sethacus 01:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as they pass WP:MUSIC. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 01:23, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
