The subject does not seem to have significant coverage in reliable sources, see the general notability guidelines for what is required for a subject to have a stand-alone article. Most of the links and sources in the article as it stands now are essentially directory listings or "anyone can edit" type sites, like ReverbNation.

Delete - you mean this isn't an article about cooking? Other than one Myspace link, all the prominent Gsearch links are food related. Or just redirect to garlic ;-) --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 04:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect Brasse Vannie Kaap, as article fails notability criteria for musicians, no notability outside the band. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 08:51, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't object to this redirect. ErikHaugen (talk) 21:49, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep or Redirect - There seem to be just enough sources to establish notability under WP:GNG but a redirect to Brasse Vannie Kaap could also be a good solution as they don't appear to qualify under WP:MUSICBIO (although I'm sure with a bit more digging through the food articles something could be found).

Do not delete. Since the initial nomination for deletion I added two substantial references and thinking the matter resolved removed the article from nomination. Or so I thought. Since then someone else has added a third reference concerning the Hip Hop Connected musical, a very notable event in SA history. Brasse Vannie Kaap was a very big group in the history of South African music, and Garlic Brown's career, while not as well known, is an ongoing and burgeoning story. While not much press will come up with a simple search of (garlic grown), try ("garlic brown") or (knoffel bruin). He's featured on Die Antwoord's album, which has been downloaded and streamed over several million times. He's connected to Jack Parow, one of our countries biggest stars. South Africa's musical history has not been well documented on the internet but carelessly deleting attempts to establish one is not helping. Remember, wikipedia was not built in a day.
