Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fifth Harmony (3rd Nomination)
I am the nominator, but took the article to AfD as my work was redirected based on the 2nd AfD nomination. While the other discussions stated that they are not notable outside of the X Factor, and as such do not meet the guidelines for . The rationale seems valid, but regardless if they are notable for their work on the X Factor (regardless of what place they ended up at), they are still notable as they received significant coverage in reliable sources. There is also rationale that they do not have a single released yet so they must not be notable. What needs to be looked at is the basic guidelines for notability . They are the subject of significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the subject. Having a single on the radio releasing an album DO go towards notability, but they are not in themselves proof of notability (as notability is not inherent). What it comes down to is they are a group that has received significant coverage from  for their work on the X Factor, their record deal with Epic Records, and the cover songs of other notable artists. The fact is, redirecting the article because they have not released a single is counterproductive. There are numerous articles that exist for cover bands, A cappella groups, etc. This is not a case for , but a case of trying to get everyone back to the basics and ask if they meet basic notability guidelines
