[edit] Hey! Say! 7

Hey! Say! 7 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is about a non-notable "temporary" group that makes enough assertion of notability to avoid speedy. Seems to fail WP:MUSIC. JodyB _{yak, yak, yak} 23:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Copypasta from the article's discussion page:

I don't see any notability issues here, as it is explicitly mentioned on the Lovely Complex wiki page as the 2nd opening/ending theme. Furthermore Tegomass, which did the first op/ed and is another Johnny Jimusho temp group, has its own page, and there doesn't seem to be any qualms about deletion there. If anything, the notability of both bands are for intents and purposes equal and notable enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.82.188 (talk) 21:56, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

• I'd say keep because this is notable: They made a #1 single, but the thing is that if we want to keep this article, please cite any references and/or sources. Bigtop 19:56, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment: For one week then plummeted to #7 with ever decreasing sales. So yes they charted (most likely as a fad) then died not what I'd describe as notable event, more likely a manipulation of of marketing forces. They certainly didn't get there by their own efforts. --WebHamster 20:18, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

comment certainly not my thing, so I won't !vote, but if they charted, they charted, and i don;t think we decide notability in anything based on our own individual judgment of the artistic merit of the guys. DGG (talk) 18:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Their single was the best selling single in the month of August and they're the youngest group ever to reach #1, breaking a 20 year old record. That should be notable enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamichan (talk • contribs) 18:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep on account of having a #1 hit -- Roleplayer 03:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Kamichan and #1 hit.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 04:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
