Keep – As per sources searches, qualifies for a standalone article per meeting WP:GNG and WP:BAND. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:22, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Their songs and album have charted, so they pass WP:BAND. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 16:37, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, passes WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC - #6 (is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians). Has charts, airplay, etc. The editor whose username is Z0 18:06, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. \\\Septrillion:- ~~‭~~10^Eleventeen 19:26, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Reminder that NMUSIC and GNG are not hard rules that insist everyone who meets those criteria need articles. The point is that this is an unnecessary content fork, a stub with information that is easily contained – if not already present – in Everything Is Love (the only release by the duo as a collective), Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and their respective discography articles Jay-Z albums discography, Jay-Z singles discography, and Beyoncé discography.

Redirect or Merge into Everything Is Love. If this duo had more albums together, I'd say Keep, but they've only had one album and single so far and there collaborations can be mentioned in the retrospective Beyonce and Jay-Z articles. editorEهեইдအ😎 21:04, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Everything Is Love this is a blatant content fork of that record and it's too soon for a separate page until Beyoncé and Jay-Z at least release another album under this joint name as pretty much everything here is already covered there and/or the artists' respective discography pages. Nothing of value would be lost. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:51, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Everything Is Love was credited to "The Carters," not "Beyoncé and Jay-Z." This separates this article from The Throne (group), which was redirected to Watch The Throne because that album was credited to "Jay-Z and Kanye West." Newslinger (talk) 05:21, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Wikipedia wil be the laughingstock of social media if we delete this. 01:35, 14 July 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearian (talk • contribs)

With no personal comment intended, who gives a fuck? Wikipedia never worried and hopefully never worry about what social media's tittering about. -The Gnome (talk) 11:24, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets the criteria of both WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC Snowycats (talk) 03:58, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
