Non-notable band. There is only one source listed and it is questionable. Riftynush (talk) 19:41, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - meets WP:BAND #1, 2, and 3. Coverage of the group in Stereogum and Billboard and elsewhere (see Lately_(Divine_song)#Reception).-KH-1 (talk) 00:15, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per KH-1. WP:BAND criterion #2 requires only that an artist have "had a single or album on any country's national music chart." Divine passes this test with flying colors; they had a #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, the main music chart in the U.S. And that single was certified platinum, too, which exceeds criterion #3: "Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country." --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:48, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - see WP:BIGNUMBER. Who’s to say that having a #1 hit on a chart automatically makes you notable. Per WP:GNG, a subject requires MULTIPLE sources, and this has just one. And since it has just one, this article must be deleted unless someone finds at least one other source before this discussion expires. Riftynush (talk) 14:45, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, although no real objection if artist/album articles are merged. Coverage appears in Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, Billboard, The Boston Globe, Journal Star, etc. Caro7200 (talk) 14:52, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: As mentioned, meets WP:BAND. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:47, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - easily meets NBAND. One-hit wonder. Bearian (talk) 19:50, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
