Barbie and the Kens

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Band has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable. which is the core notability requirement. I don't see any citation that the band had a hit on a national music chart. Article had previously been proposed for deletion in Aug 2006. I'm not sure if the undocumented claim that is in regular rotation on a retro internet-only radio station meets the requirement for notability but would be interested in what others have to say.

 * Keep being no. 35 on a list of top 106(.7) songs in an age before Internet radio and MP3 is notable enough. Awyong J. M. Salleh 18:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I know that WP:BAND is just a guideline, but the central notability requirement for this band has not been met. And reading the guidelines, the secondary qualifiers of being on a national music chart is only an indicator of the probable existence of "sufficient reliable information is available about a given group or individual musician."  I don't see any reliable information in the article or available on the web that would lead me to think that this article would ever be anything more than a stub.
