Keep per WP:MUSIC, having had at least one single on the Billboard Hot 100, as per the reference in the article. Plenty of room for improvement in the sourcing, but clearly notable. --Finngall ^talk 00:54, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep –

Meets WP:GNG/criteria #1 of WP:BAND: Ebony, Hip Hop in America: A Regional Guide, Staten Island Advance, Blues & Soul (subscription required).
Also meets WP:BAND criteria #2, "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" (source).
Also of note here is that topic notability is based upon the availability of sources, rather than the state of sourcing in articles. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:36, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
