Madame Monsieur

Non-notable band, fails WP:BAND. Claim to fame of "probably" representing France at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 fails WP:CRYSTAL. Whole article is probably a little bit too soon. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 23:04, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The french wikipedia article hints at a few reliable sources ([1] from Nice-Matin, which confirms they will run for the eurovision contest; and [2] from Taratata). Regards, Comte0 (talk) 14:50, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article fulfils multiple criterion, and in my opinion, the band is objectively notable enough to have a wikipedia page. Their song "Mercy" is at #2 on French iTunes, they have featured on a Hooverphonic single which got #3 in Belgium, and they have been covered by many news publications. I think to delete this page would be an over-vigorous, bureaucratic, enforcement of one interpretation of the WP:BAND guidelines. There is also a page on the French wikipedia for this band, though I'm not sure if that means anything here. -ThatJosh (talk) 18:16, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Now the subject in article is the representative for France for Eurovision 2018, now notable enough to allow for their article. --PootisHeavy (talk) 22:48, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I retract my nomination now that they will represent France. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 22:51, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep now that they are officially the French entry and sources are suddenly plentiful. — fox 23:59, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
