Tagged for notability since 2010. NN band, fails WP:BAND. UtherSRG (talk) 18:37, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Japan. UtherSRG (talk) 18:37, 27 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I'm worried that I may be missing Japanese-language sources, but searches in both Japanese and English turn up nothing indicating notability. No in-depth coverage or reviews in reliable publications. —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:39, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - the information provided by Dekimasu is convincing and they appear to meet WP:NBAND. Changing my support to keep and striking my delete comment. —Ganesha811 (talk) 10:55, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Passes WP:NBAND #2, as their single "Ima made nando mo" went to #22 on Oricon, on the chart for seven weeks. Also passes WP:NBAND #10, since that song was the theme for a popular television show. Non-advertising coverage (WP:NBAND #1) includes this fairly substantial article, which could definitely be used to improve the Wikipedia article. The article is not in great condition, but a WP:BEFORE that included searches in Japanese (as WP:BEFORE asks for) would have found this sort of information, and the #10 claim was already in the article. Please perform WP:BEFORE searches in Japanese when necessary, and check Oricon. Dekimasuよ! 00:25, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Most of this information could have been verified already by reviewing the previous AfD, which ended in keep after it was noted that they pass WP:NBAND #2 and #5. They also had a second television theme song in 2013. Dekimasuよ! 00:30, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
