[edit] Demigodz, Celph Titled

This appears to be a walled garden. Demigodz is a so-called "underground hip-hop supergroup" but its members appear to be members only of this group and have no other claims to notability. A couple have already been speedied. The group has released one album, according to Allmusic, but there is no evidence of significance. All the band members appear to have Myspace pages and little else. Lots of links, but most of them turned out to be music the band heard or was influenced by, rather than any actual firm relationship. Website contains "mostly dated information". There are some links to other groups, but they all seem to go round in circles: A is notable because it includes B, who is notable because he was in C, wich is notable because it contains B, who is notable because he was in A. How notable is an underground hip-hop crew anyway? Just zis Guy you know? 09:42, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete There doesn't seem to be any reliable, verifiable information about these groups. Thus, they shouldn't be here. Kevin 13:00, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As per nom. --Crossmr 17:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Celph Titled being an integral part of that Fort Minor album (top 60 album in the US) would surely qualify him on his own, but the Demigodz _are_ a well-known hip-hop act, Celph Titled was on the cover (as part of his Boss Hogg Barbarians side-project) of Hip Hop Connection this month which has a circulation of around 15,000, and, really, if "results 119,000 for "celph titled"" isn't enough to classify an artist as notable... meh. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Journalis (talk • contribs) 23:11, 15 May 2006 (UTC) (UTC)
• Keep Has anyone voting for delete googled '7L & Esoteric'? 'Styles of Beyond'? Searching for some of these people individually rather than in relevant subgroups could be giving you a misleadingly low hit count. Membership of those groups, Celph, and former membership of Louis Logic are clearly sufficient grounds for inclusion. Ncsaint 00:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've heard Demigodz on a Marley Marl mixtape together and BBC national radio separately, so the problem seems to me not to be notability. Perhaps the articles should be improved or tagged as needing work, rather than deleted. Tim Ivorson 11:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Kevin. Stifle (talk) 18:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Maybe delete the lyrics since nobody with anything vaguely important to do reads them all. Celph Titled/ Demigodz/Apathy all +thoroughly+ deserve an entry in Wiki. Who the fuck is Kevin to say who deserves an entry or not? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.234.243.2 (talk • contribs) 09:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC).
