fails GNG, no significant coverage, they had a number seven hit in Ireland 17 years ago, two further top 20's, and spent a total of eight weeks in the chart.

- Merge/redirect to The X Factor (British series 2)#Finalists. As with the other/various acts whose notability is significantly connected to that topic. (Namely: 4Tune, Addictiv Ladies, Chenai Zinyuku, Nicholas Dorsett and Phillip Magee.) Outright deletion (under PROD or following this AfD) doesn't seem the correct course. In particular as the subject verifiably meets one (and possibly more) of the WP:NBAND criteria. (I would separately note that, while the nominator refers to finding only one mention in the Independent News & Media stable (the national Irish Independent), a quick search returns significantly more than that (a high percentage of which appear to cover the subject as a primary topic). And I also note cover in other national newspapers, such as the Irish Examiner. The only reason I'm not advocating an outright keep is because of how much of this coverage relates to the group's connection to the "X-Factor"...) Guliolopez ( talk) 20:44, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Multiple charting hits prior to that tv show. Clears pass of NMUSIC. WP:N does not require a pass of both SNG and GNG ( which is passed anyway). Following is some of the coverage I found. duffbeerforme ( talk) 22:11, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
