Allegedly Spanish producer. Looks more like hoax or garage rip-off to me. Claimed they produced Soulja Boy . ORLY? Xuz (talk) 00:39, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Lots of G News sources, a lot in Spanish or pay sources, so i can't tell if they are trivial...they apparently did a mix tape tribute for Michael Jackson. CTJF83 chat 04:27, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This one came up for investigation at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2010 March 6; the copyright issue was already resolved before I got there, but I was intrigued enough to dig for some sources, and they have had international coverage from Spain (El Pais), The US (MTV, Washington Post) and the UK (The Sun, The Guardian). While some mentions are brief, El Pais dedicated a full column to them, and there are other sources out there that I didn't check. I think that they probably clear WP:GNG and criterion #1 of WP:MUSIC. While some of the references are brief, they don't just note the release but take the time to comment on quality, and MTV singled them out as representative of a particular type of mash-up, the blending of "worlds apart" sounds. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:53, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Moonriddengirl's sourcing, enough non-trivial coverage (even if some is brief) to meet WP:MUSIC criterion #1. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:38, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
