[edit] KMD

Article on obscure band from the 90s. Google test fails miserably (244 hits) --Mecanismo 22:35, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable." Very important group to serious hip-hop fans and historians. Sleepypanda 23:54, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• That's precisely the reason this wiki should be maintained. This "BAND" (hiphop group) should stay because of the lack of Google hits. There is a following (if cult) that would like to see some sort of article maintained with relevancy, as KMD's founder, Zev Love X (who is now gaining popularity as MF DOOM) will look for some sort of info on his earlier work. Nothing in the wiki is inaccurate. Keep it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.196.184.206 (talk • contribs).
• Keep. They've got an allmusic.com entry and they've put out more than two albums, including one from a major label (Elektra). Gamaliel 01:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. allmusic entry shows them to be reasonably important. First album was on Elektra; one member died early; second album controversial; close ties to very important group 3rd Bass. Easily notable enough for me. Bikeable 01:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• ""Keep"" I agree with sleepypanda. Very notable to hip hop fans and historians. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 160.39.157.71 (talk • contribs).
• Keep as per Gamaliel. --Merovingian 02:46, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

"KEEP" This is an influential group that may not be prominent, but they are influential and one of their members has gone on to revcieve a large cult following. 67.170.58.103 04:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC) very notable. group has a cult-like following. MF DOOM is now highly notable (Dangerdoom, Madvillainy, etc.

• Strong Keep. Notable and verifiable band, meets WP:MUSIC. Users should thoroughly check notablility criteria before listing articles for deletion, so as not to waste everyone's time. This is only one of many articles on very well-known hip-hop acts that have been listed for deletion by users who apparently don't know any better. --FuriousFreddy 13:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per FuriousFreddy. --Andylkl ^{[ talk! | c ]} 15:09, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
