The band certainly existed for a brief moment, as a creation of producer Felix J. Gauder, but the band's best effort was a song that appeared on some dance compilation albums. That's not enough to satisfy WP:NBAND. Nothing significant has been written about this band in reliable sources, although two self-published websites have some info: bubblegumdancer.com and eurokdj.com. Note that this article's author, User:Mgandrews, wrote and ran the bubblegumdancer.com website. Also, the redirect Jet Set Life should be deleted. Binksternet (talk) 02:22, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

• Delete - It appears that they only ever released that one song, and it got no reliable media coverage and appeared on a few compilation albums that were themselves unnoticed. Now the group is only visible in a few retail directories and minor nostalgia sites as found by the nominator. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:50, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
