Does not meet WP:ORG. Its "notability" is based principally on a single song that became popular on YouTube. Does not meet notability for WP:EVENT, either. Bbb23 (talk) 21:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The group's popularity and notability has continued past the release of Candlelight. In fact, a quick Google News search shows they recently played at The White House [1], their music video director received a profile in The Jewish Week [2], and they are regularly playing at Jewish venues across the northeast.

  • Comment. I was unaware of the White House performance when I nominated it for deletion (it wasn't yet in the article and it happened only the day before). It makes the nomination a closer call, although I still believe that at this point they are more of a phenomenon than anything else. Whether later they more clearly establish notability remains to be seen.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:28, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As per this new information, let's get this over with quickly -- WP:SNOW. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 13:17, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Try harder not to be condescending and dismissive. It may take some work, but I'm sure you can do it.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:28, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I tend to be more of a keeper than a deleter, and I'd give this one the benefit of the doubt.--Frankie Rae (talk) 20:33, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per nom. Their notability is based principally on a single song that became popular on YouTube. This appearance was then covered in cited WP:RS, just as we ask. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:03, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Just because a single event is covered doesn't necessarily make it notable. See WP:INDEPTH and surrounding (above and below) guidelines.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:10, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Given the level of RS coverage, it meets GNG.--Epeefleche (talk) 00:57, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
