[edit] Kaba Modern

It's non-notable group. The page is a self-promotional article that doesn't provide encyclopedic context. graphitesmoothie (talk | contributions) 04:48, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Fine, it may be a poor article, but the dance group is featured on a national TV show (America's Best Dance Crew). I'd say it's far from non-notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by California golden bears (talk • contribs)

  • Keep. Appears to have adequate coverage in WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources, from a search of recent and archived news articles, and is also mentioned in The Unofficial, Unbiased Guide to the 328 Most Interesting Colleges as an "award-winning hip-hop dance group".

  • Keep Group has been in an internationally-televised show for weeks, which I think makes them notable. Article is sourced by nationally-recognized publications. I don't see the problem here. -Animesouth (talk) 15:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I agree with animesouth and cirt, about their national/international status, but that whole introductory paragraph is copied and pasted from Kaba Modern's website. I might go ahead and rehash that whole paragraph in the next day. - Lesserm (talk) 0:56 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep i don't argue it needs a rewrite, but it certainly seems to meet the notability requirement. --Wongba (talk) 06:15, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: An anon has made a !vote of (keep) on the talk page. I however am neutral on this issue. NanohaA'sYuriTalk, My master 00:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
