Subject of the article is a dance group, however, only vague claims of success are mentioned and there are no reliable sources. The article fails to demonstrates the group's notability and fails WP:GNG which states that significant coverage should exists. All I can find is trivial coverage of this group. Additionally, the group fails WP:MUSBIO Holyfield1998 (talk) 19:00, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Google US and Espana provided nothing useful for this article. I found a magazine article here that mentions some of their past work, a forum which also lists some of their past work (but would probably be unreliable). Considering they may have received better coverage for their most recent work in 2005, I searched but found nothing. Like I mentioned at one of the Megabeat album nominations, any substantial coverage may not be Internet-based or considering they were only active for two short periods and used multiple names.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete. Tried looking for Megabeat, Sonido de Valencia, Música Mákina, and all I can add to the two links above is this blog, which is very generous towards the subject but is far from being a reliable source. The best claim I can see for notability is that some of their songs may have been widely played in the early 90's, and they are commonly included in compilations of the genre. The Spanish article on música mákina gives a detailed yet unsourced account of the movement, and Megabeat is not mentioned at all, while Fran Lenaers is just mentioned in passing once. This could be case of WP:FUTON bias, but it appears that the movement in general got shunned by the media, and only got coverage surrounding issues of drug use, accidents, etc. [1] — Frankie (talk) 15:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
