Appears to fail all twelve criteria of WP:BAND. The Detroit Hip Hop Awards doesn't meet WP:NAWARD, so their biggest claim of significance per criterion nine of WP:BAND falls short. There's also a twinge of conflict of interest or at the very least original research, evidenced by *editors note* After email contact with the former members of Abstrakt Intellekt, it was confirmed that the groups new project is a live band called The Prime Eights.

Delete: Per Nom. On a quick glance at some random references there is ref bombing and plain site advertising. The link supposedly to support "The group parted ways with Mike Clark in 2005 and signed to an independent record label called Protekted Records", is a dead link parked at Go Daddy. Try this dead link. The supposed Detroit Rap reference mentions a lot of names but I did not see the subject. The plug for suicide.org does not support the sentence. The "Note" mentioned by nom as apparent WP:OR includes "the groups new project" and follows "...started work in 2011 on a yet unnamed new project.", leading one to surmise there is some unnamed 8 year project in the works, when the infobox lists the years active as 1999–2010, and the previous paragraph states the duo "...released their final album in 2010... and performed their final show in September 2010".

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Even if this was to turn out to be notable (which it probably isn't), an article so littered with dodgy and fake references as pointed out by Otr500 can more easily be started from scratch than cleaned up. A classic WP:TNT case. SpinningSpark 21:53, 1 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
