This article, much of which comes from Bridgingsoler (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), reads like a fan page and its sole independent sources are gig guides. I call vanispamcruftisement. Guy (Help!) 23:33, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: the contribution of User:Bridgingsoler to this article is rather minimal (see here). In fact the article has been around since 2005, with dozens of contributors. The tone of the article should be "wikified", but these guys are definitely famous in Hong Kong. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 09:03, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment I'm unable to find any reliable source apart from this Reuters piece: Macau band offers a new face to China | Reuters which alone does not establish notability in my opinion. However, there might be other sources, especially in Chinese. Nimuaq (talk) 03:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
