[edit] Former Fat Boys
This is actually the second nomination for this page. The first time was "no consensus", although it didn't appear that way to me. This group miserably fails WP:MUSIC. First nomination discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Former fat boys. Jauerback 11:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete If everything in the article is true and accurate, they might barely be notable under general standards, not under WP:MUSIC (the MTV appearance sounds like the biggest claim to notability), but there are no citations for any of it and I can't find any reliable sources in a quick search. The article also has a promotional tone. Propaniac 13:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

- OK, seriously, who cares about this MTV series? I'd never even heard of it before, it only lasted for one season, and they WERE NOT EVEN FINALISTS! They appeared on two episodes! Whoop de do! -- Kicking222 15:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Strong delete I pushed hard for deletion last time, which was a year ago. What about the group's notability has changed since then? Nothing at all. -- Kicking222 22:23, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep per previous AfD, specifically appearing on MTV and having their album. Mathmo Talk 21:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete most of their notability is purely associative (played with X, confused with Y, songs contain references to Z, compared to... etc.) except the two cited by Mathmo. But WP:MUSIC I think calls for more than what's here: a second album with a notable label and some more indication of significant quantity of airplay on MTV or a listing on the charts. Something...

- Weak delete—"weak" because of their MTV appearances, but still I do not believe that they satisfy WP:MUSIC without a second album release (or any of the other criteria, of course). --Paul Erik 06:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
