Fails WP:GNG. Many sources mention the collective only once, and the rest do not provide WP:SIGCOV. I have not found other sources on Google News that contribute to notability. More articles could likely be written about the members, but the collective itself does not seem notable. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 14:41, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. Can't find anything in a BEFORE, and the current revision's sources do not establish notability. 1 is an entry in a list of 13, 2 is in entry in a list of 15, 3 is only about one EP (not the group as a whole) and is from a student-run paper, 4-10 mention the group in passing, 11 does not mention the group, 12 is a YouTube video of a song, 13-14 do not mention the group, 15 is an album, 16 is a song, and 17-25 do not mention the group.
With stars jumping on these highly computerised beats with heavily auto-tuned voices, the once-stigmatised vocal correction tool has morphed from being “a tool to perfect to being used as its own medium”, in the words of Helixtears producer Babs. - ref 11
- Oh, I only looked for "helix tears", not "helixtears." That still doesn't establish notability though. Anerdw (talk) 04:31, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- and ref 3 is about the group as a whole
- She released her first track a mere 18 months ago and quickly joined the collective Helix Tears — a growing group of rappers, singers, and producers who make music at the cutting edge of hyperpop and glitchcore. This year, Eighty has collaborated with producer and fellow Helix Tears member blackwinterwells to release two EPs: “tracing paths” in January and, on April 14, “plague town.” EternalBaile (talk) 08:01, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- oh wait oopsie daisy it is from a student-run paper EternalBaile (talk) 08:09, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete I don't think these meet notability requirments. Does not look encyclopedic. May need more work. Draftspace seems more appropriate for the time being. Ramos1990 (talk) 22:48, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
