[edit] Hot Shit (Group)

Non notable, fails WP:BAND, disputed CSD, the user who has created this has given no sources. The sunder king 21:01, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Asserts no notability; offers no references at all. The google test may not be the best, but it's all I can come up with, and I've got nothing relevant on Maverick Sourcerer "Hot Shit" --Moonriddengirl 21:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep -- I am trying to find the sources for the article at the moment. The group are well known on the Brooklyn underground hip hop circuit and are notable. --Brooklyn Soldier 21:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Well known on the Brooklyn underground hip hop circuit" is not one of the notability criteria, and there do not appear to be any reliable sources for information on this band. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment -- my point is that they are notable in brooklyn and new york for their hip hop tracks, but maybe not the whole world --Brooklyn Soldier 21:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • The way we gauge notability on Wikipedia is by sources. We don't just take your word for it. (Nothing against you- we don't take any editor's word for it.) If the music press is giving them significant coverage, we can maybe have an article. If not, we can't. My town has lots of local bands too, but this doesn't mean they belong in an encyclopedia.

  • Comment -- But they are more than a local band, many expect them to become a huge group in the future,thats why i started the article --Brooklyn Soldier 21:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Fair enough. Show me where Rolling Stone or Entertainment Weekly says they expect them to be huge, and we can talk. Until there are sources, all we have are your assurances that "many" expect them to become notable. And that's not enough. Friday (talk) 21:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment -- but why would i start the article if they were just another "local band" --Brooklyn Soldier 21:37, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - recreate if and when they become huge. --Huon 21:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment -- why cant we just keep the article and when they become huge we can add to the page and give more refs? --Brooklyn Soldier 21:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment -- u guy's r fuckin' nazi's --Brooklyn Soldier 21:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
