 * Delete per nom, WP:BIO failing group. Oh, and the argument that this subject is notable because it is mentioned in another article doesn't help your credibility when you created both articles. -- Kinu t /c  03:13, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

 * The issue isn't the notability of the group of artists, the issue is the event/performance itself which is what the article is actually about. The event has certainly been deemed notable by the press, gallery owners, and gallery-goers of Milwaukee a fact which is testified to by the above links.

Clearly there is enough interest in the event and it's role in re-invigorating gallery night (an event which X-crit is not affiliated with in any way) that xtreme critique has become, dare I say it... notable enough to warrant the attention of Milwaukee's most major online and print media institutions.
