- Weak keep Appears to have received enough coverage per the sources mentioned on article. lorstaking 15:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, but only just. This is a weird one, because this group has been the subject of a bunch of news coverage. As much as I'm unenthused about the subject... the article only just appears to meet GNG. -- a they/them | argue | contribs
- Keep - Mentioned by many, many, many, reliable sources like this one. Also, there really isn't any context in the nomination. 🌺Kori🌺 - ( @) 17:48, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per above Mr. Apollo ( talk to me bebe) 01:52, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - although there are multiple instances of coverage, all of it is from a very short period in July 2019, with nothing since then (that I've seen, anyway). This is pretty indicative of something that went mildly viral for about a week, then vanished back into obscurity without much further interest.
WP:N looks for more: it demands that subjects have
gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time
(my bold). The coverage of this group fails that second criteria, as all of the coverage clearly comes from a single short period. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 15:12, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Keep, coverage of this group was maintained for several months, such as here: [1] from late October 2019 by Deseret News, and here [2] from early December, published by Coconuts Media, and here: [3] by Wired (magazine), again from December, though the last one is rather brief. There is also tons of coverage from August 2019. I believe this showcases that this group received coverage over a period of time sufficient to pass WP:N.

- Weak keep - even though this topic didn't have much coverage after a few weeks, there still was some. KevTYD ( talk) 11:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per at least a little bit of coverage later in the year. Naypta ☺ | ✉ talk page | 14:34, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep - I was the original author of this page, but I still feel that it meets notability guidelines, especially with some of the more recent sources for it, as noted by Naypta above, and with my recent edits, where I added a few more sources to the article. Seagull123 Φ 22:20, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
