Madagascar (band)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't think this is an actual band. The soundtrack of the movie Madagascar (2005 film) includes a performance of the song "I Like to Move It" in character by Sacha Baron Cohen, one of the voice performers in the movie. However, this article treats "I Like to Move It" as though it were performed on the soundtrack by a band named Madagascar, which I don't think is accurate. I considered redirecting the article to Madagascar (2005 film) or Sacha Baron Cohen, but neither seems to be appropriate given that the claimed existence of this band appears to be a misunderstanding. I recommend a delete instead. Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:29, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Even if this band actually existed, they wouldn't meet notability requirements, as they appear to have no members and no albums. Zetawoof(&zeta;) 02:07, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not suggest that it meets WP:MUSIC; most likely a joke.--Andrewlp1991 (talk) 03:14, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Either a bad joke or misinterpretation by someone who doesn't have English as their first language. Sacha Baron Cohen performed the song in the film, not a band called "Madagascar" Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 13:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * There does seem to be an indie pop band called Madagascar from Baltimore, Maryland, but 1. they're not the subject of this article and 2. they don't meet WP:MUSIC anyway. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 03:14, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
