It is completely unclear what this article is about. A musical group? A dance troupe? A comedy team? Notability not met. Other issues as well, for example, the inclusion of Japanese text. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - Never heard of this, but reading up on it, it seems this is kind of a sister project to Tsunku's Hello! Project, which means it is not a specific band or group, but a project to foster and develop idol entertainers. It seems the difference from Hello! Project is that this involves the cooperation of four talent agencies with different strengths, enabling the development of multi-talented idols or idols of different talents. That is what at least the news articles say, and since Tsunku's activities are the focus of much attention, there have been quite a number of articles on it: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], etc. Although some of the groups in the project have been notable (e.g., The Possible (group)), the project itself is not a band or a group and cannot be judged using WP:BAND. I believe we just have to return to WP:GNG. I think there is enough coverage to just pass GNG. Michitaro (talk) 01:32, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
