Non notable and very short lived pop act, Although they covered the song Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? the article makes no reference to them nor is there anything online, Ofcourse there could be sources offline however that would be a wild guess and I were to put money on it I'd say there wasn't any sources offline, Fails NMUSIC & GNG –Davey2010^Talk 02:27, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Top ten single clearly satisfies WP:MUSIC#2 (even if The Guardian thinks this charity single is gruesome). duffbeerforme (talk) 02:40, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• At the bottom of NMUSIC it states and I quote "Where possible, composers or lyricists with insufficient verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article should be merged into the article about their work. When a composer or lyricist is known for multiple works, such a merger may not be possible." - Obviously the band have insufficient verifiable material,

If desired I could add a one liner to the song article and this could be redirected however as it stands the band aren't notable (sure their song reached a top ten but that's no different to someone staring in a known film - In short reliable sources are needed which at present there are none), Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 02:16, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On your quote "Where possible, composers or lyricists ..." They are not composers or lyricists. Yes, reliable sources are needed and reliable sources exist. A merge may possibly be a good idea, either to the song or to FHM, but which? A merge does not need deletion. A small stub seems like a good solution. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:32, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very good point I'm not sure why I thought they were but reading the guideline again it does state notability is not inherited etc etc, Well personally I think merging to the song would be better - Something like "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" was also covered by novelty pop act The Girls of FHM in 2004" or something to that effect, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 19:08, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
