Notability that is marginal at best, not clear if the minimum standards of WP:MUSIC are met or not. Pastordavid (talk) 17:47, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment They have a paragaraph or so at All Music Guide, but I'm not sure if that's enough -- other sources would be very tricky to find given the band's name. If the UK Singles Chart position can be verified, then maybe they would squeak through. But just in case, I've added the page on their album to this discussion.

• Keep If you're not certain that the minimum standards of notability has been met, then you should tag the article with {{notability}} and not nominate something that at first glance seems quite notable enough to me. All Music Guide is as professional and as mainstream as a music website can possibly be. They do not review just any album that has been released and if they have provided a full length review of an album, then it's a pretty good bet that the artist behind that album is notable enough for an article on wikipedia. Yes, it is a stupid name for a group but a quick search on google reveals this, this, this and of course the AMG review. Seems notable enough per criteria 1 of WP:MUSIC.
  • Comment. The article has in fact been tagged with {{notability}} for almost a full year, with no evidence of notability added to the article. I brought the article to AfD because I was unsure - and some else has been unsure for 11 months - and I trust the consensus process of AfD to make a good decision one way or the other. What I saw in the article (and still see) is one album, with one unverified claim of a chart placement. Pastordavid (talk) 15:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Sources provided above establish notability per WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 15:25, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. A google search for 2XL "kitty kat" produces many videos and lyrics. Also, the song features E-40 who is a very prominant rapper.
