A boy band that has only released one album that hasn't charted at all, and is highly promotional in tone. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 23:55, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. If I were to delete all the fancruft, there would be nothing left (and who cares what their blood types are, anyway?). Erpert Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it? 07:41, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, There might be loads of refs. I can't read them though. If you google for Hit-5 郭子渝 there is plenty off stuff on google news (the 郭子渝 added to filter them a bit, so there must be more). I have some real difficulty assessing the value of the sources though, google translate isn't all that, and I just don't know if the sources meet WP:RS. If the fanstuff is gone, it would make for a pretty meager article, and I won't be able to fix much myself, as I can't read sources. (The bloodtypes in the article, though IMO cruft, probably come from Blood type#Cultural beliefs and other claims). Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 12:02, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe, although checking the international charts HIT-5/郭子渝 didn't show up anywhere, at least that I could find. Then again, I read Japanese, not Chinese, so there may be something I missed. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 15:04, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Even if it hasn't charted, if it meets the general notability guidlines of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources then it's a keeper. I just can't judge the sources well. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 16:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, no reliable coverage of any significance. I guess this could pass A7, but I'm not really sure how it did. — Timneu22 · talk 19:22, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
