[edit] Freemasons (band)

This article is about a nn group. All Music Guide has no relevant entries, Google has only one hit besides this article (freemasons + band), and while they may have released singles, they never charted, and there don't seem to be any media articles on the group either.

• Delete nn band. Tychocat 05:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - they have charted [1] in the UK at #11, so qualify under WP:MUSIC Trebor 06:42, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep - The UK Top 40 placement should be enough to give them notability, although this brings up to mind the problem with making articles about dance music projects. With producers creating a variety of aliases for themselves and for collaborations, a lot of different articles about the same team can be created that can be merged. Freemasons could conceivably be merged to Phats & Small, although the absence of Jason Hayward from the Freemasons project should prevent that. The article is also badly named, since the Freemasons, like most house music collective names, are not a real band, but a dance music project/act made up of two producers and fronted by a guest singer. --Pc13 08:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
