[edit] BaBe

BaBe (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No notability, little verification. The only source cited is just another encyclopedia, and it could also fail WP:BAND. Diez2 16:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

is it possible to add Tomoko Kondo to this AfD nomination? --Alvestrand 22:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Added. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-25 08:24Z

  • Delete Obviously, it's impossible to get meaningful Google results for the band name. Babe "tomoko kondo" gets 24 hits, although that wouldn't include any Japanese sites. Kondo appears to have done some anime and video game voice work, but nothing major. --Djrobgordon 11:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong and speedy keep - According to Oricon (Japan's Billboard) they have had several albums on Pony Canyon, charting as high as #3. And, many singles, as high as #4. Neier 08:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
    • That vote is for the band, and both artists in the band per WP:MUSIC - Neier 08:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep BaBe per Neier. Notability was strongly implied in the JA article and I was intending to look for sources myself, but as far as the AfD is concerned this should already settle all qualms about keeping the article. As far as the members, they can be articles per the notability guidelines, but they needn't be. With the band's article in its current state, I don't see any reason not to merge Tomoko Kondo there and redirect both names to it. Dekimasuよ! 09:31, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Merge/redirect is acceptable to me too. Neier 10:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Passes MUSIC guidelines according to Oricon billboard charts. RFerreira 07:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
