Very poorly cited article. Lot of hits, but couldn't find enough in-depth articles from independent and reliable sources about this particular group which would indicate they pass
WP:GNG, and nothing in the article indicates significance, let alone that they pass
WP:NMUSIC.

Keep Certainly poorly sourced, but
WP:NRVE does not require sources be cited in the article to judge notability. A search of the entertainment press in Japan finds decent coverage in reliable sources:
[1],
[2],
[3],
[4],
[5],
[6],
[7], etc. The previous commentator was mistaken, and they have charted
[8], though not very high. But
WP:BAND does not specify how high a band needs to chart to pass criterion 2. Finally, they were the subject of an hour-long broadcast documentary on the
Fuji Television network in their long-running documentary series Nonfix:
[9]. Also I might add that whether they have fixed membership is irrelevant to this discussion. This is common in idol groups. This is not an overwhelming keep, I believe it passes
WP:GNG.

Many of the author's recently created articles are currently at AfD, and this article was apparently created to prop up the articles being discussed at AfD. At best, this is a very early draft & clearly not ready for main space. If the topic is indeed notable, then an uninvolved editor would create it some time down the road. There's no rush to get to such a state, however.

Keep: There's enough notable singers in this band so in my opinion the article is worth at least a couple of weeks of improvement before we decide anything. --
