I absolutely agree that this article does not make any substantive claim of notability, nor is it supported by sufficient
reliable sourcing to claim
WP:GNG — as written, all I'm getting here is that the group might merit a single unlinked mention in the article on
501 Queen, and does not need its own standalone article if this is all that we can write or source about it. I do want to express the caution to @
Some Gadget Geek:, who nominated this for prod the other day, that we do not automatically delete articles about defunct groups just because they've gone defunct — if an organization was ever notable enough for an article, then it remains permanently notable regardless of its current activity status. We're not just a directory of currently active things; we cover things of historical note too. The problem here isn't that the group is defunct — it's that under current Wikipedia content standards the article isn't written substantially enough, or sourced adequately, to demonstrate that it was actually notable enough to get over
WP:ORG even when it was active. Delete unless somebody can actually salvage it with much more substance and sourcing.
