Delete - I'm not seeing anything to show notability and can't think of a merge or redirect target. JMWt (talk) 16:11, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is a dead usenet group notable in 2024? Obviously, no. But there is a significant amount of history about this group, and a significant amount of history of hip-hop and rap culture that took place in this group. Many writers, journalists, and artists participated in this group when they were young and budding. It's unfortunate that much of this is not documented in a format that is palatable to Wikipedia. I'm not impartial on this, as this group was formidable to me both personally and professionally. I personally think it's worth keeping, even though the article is not in an ideal state. I just ask you keep that in mind as a few individuals will ultimately decide the fate of the article. Kamnet (talk) 11:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kamnet: Do you have some links to show that it meets WP:GNG? Polygnotus (talk) 12:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
