• Delete fails to meet WP:GNG Deathlibrarian (talk) 00:23, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. At least three albums on Sony, so satisfies WP:NBAND. Needs someone able to search through Japanese sources, where coverage will almost certainly exist. --Michig (talk) 08:06, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Albums being produced by a popular company does not make this group notable, neither does the context of both WP:NBAND and WP:NALBUM indicate/support your argument. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 08:29, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What has NALBUM got to do with anything? WP:NBAND criterion 5 is "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels". Three albums on Sony clearly satisfies that. --Michig (talk) 08:33, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't see #s 4 & 5 criteria. — JudeccaXIII (talk) 08:39, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Never heard of them, but they satisfy not only criterion #5 but also #2 of WP:NBAND. They have had both albums and singles that have charted on Oricon, as evidenced by the Oricon site: [1], [2]. The problem with the Oricon site is that it doesn't show the rankings of older records, although it does show that "Ima made nandemo" was their highest ranking single. This article, however, states that it peaked at #22. Michitaro (talk) 08:40, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
