I cannot find sufficient RS coverage of this duo to satisfy our notability requirements. Perhaps others will be able to. Epeefleche (talk) 02:40, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll find them searching on Naver, Nate and Cyworld. Jay2kx (talk) 02:59, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes point two of WP:BAND, Leessang has an extensive charting history on the Gaon Chart, South Korea's official music chart. A Google search for "리쌍" shows significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. — ξ ^xplicit 21:55, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Perhaps you can help with this -- point two appears to presume that a country has "a" national chart. You indicate that Gaon is "South Korea's official music chart" -- if so, that meets the criteria I would think. But looking more closely, it appears that South Korea has more than one national chart -- on what basis can we conclude that Gaon is, as you say, "South Korea's official music chart"? For example, why does that moniker not belong to Korea K-Pop Hot 100, associated w/Billboard? Many thanks for your expert help.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:57, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. One of their songs is currently in Naver Music's 100 Chart History (차트 히스토리) [1]. Naver Music also has 183 of their songs covering 11 albums, 26 music videos, and have had their music on another 17 compilations including several film scores. Check the popularity of the songs on the right side [2]; they are pretty popular. ₪RicknAsia₪ 15:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
