No major notability established outside of a "hip hop mogul" and an "Oscar-nominated" individual. The external links section contains nine web-sites, and the article seems to be more of spamming the band around. seicer | talk | contribs 03:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

The hip hop mogul, is Russell Simmons, probably the most influential person in all of hip hop, and the "oscar-nominated individual" Sting, who there may only be a handful of more "notable" people in music. If this band is legit enough to be featuring both of these superstars< i think its quite clear they are notable enough for an entry in wikipedia.page marked for deletion because band is "questionably notable". Being that Sting and Russell SImmons collaborated on the CD with the band, should rule out any question of notability and significance —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.194.126.216 (talk) 03:11, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Notability is not inherited from one collaboration. The work of notable people is notable in as much as it has reliable third party sources discussing it. I can't find such sources for this album. Even so, if the album were only notable in the context of Sting and Russell Simmons' collaborative efforts, that would at most result in the album being appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia, not the band.gnfnrf (talk) 23:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment A third-party source discussing the band would be needed to establish this band's notability. Ideally, something like a album or concert review in a notable publication would of the caliber of sources provided. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 09:16, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 09:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

• Weak Delete Outside of the famous contributors, there seems to be nothing to make this band or album notable. I cannot locate any reviews or discussion of it in reliable, third-party sources. I say weak because I suspect that such sources may exist, I say delete because the article needs to be referenced by such sources to clean up the serious POV and content problems it currently has. gnfnrf (talk) 23:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
