Musical act, no sourcing, does not appear to be properly notable. Lawrence Cohen 14:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak delete Every so often there'll be an article that I'm fully prepared to vote keep for, but then find myself changing my mind because when I goto look for reliable sources to back up the notability I think they have, the sourcing just isn't there. This is one of those times. They're fairly well-known as an Irish hip-hop act, and indeed did open for U2 during the Zooropa tour, although it seems to have been at a single Dublin show, it wasn't like they toured together or anything. Maybe someone will come up with sourcing and rescue this one, but I'm stumped and must reluctantly say delete per WP:MUSIC. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:17, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - per Starblind, as it lacks WP:RS. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 01:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - It seems that Irish Hip Hop doesn't have a lot of coverage, but there is an article about them in HotPress [1] which appears to cover the Irish music scene. They were previously signed to Island records. The article is quite new, so given that one article was found in cursory search, and they appear to have had something of a 16-year career, there is a good possibility that other reliable sources could be found. I've tagged the article as unref and think giving this article some time so sources could be found would be appropriate. -- Whpq (talk) 18:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
