The result was keep. Editors favouring deletion with one exception offered nothing to support their arguments, and the coverage cited in support of keeping the article is convincing. Skomorokh 18:38, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to lack any evidence of notability, they don't even have an album out yet. Whole article seems to be a little speculative and rather spammy. magnius (talk) 13:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, article fails to establish notability per WP:MUSICBIO. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 14:36, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sources are a little hard to find, due to the generic name of the band but they do exist. The band was formed as some sort of national competition, so they are fairly well-known in the UK/Ireland despite not having put out an album yet. Stories to establish notability include: City Girls get ready to take on the world, City Girl Sian makes TV debut in Nintendo advert, Sophie's Behind The City Girls, Girls are hot in the city, City Girls to release single, and even this story about the fifth member being picked from before the group even had a name . --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They do have an album out have a look at iTunes! Jonni_Boi (Talk) 11:15, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With non-trivial coverage in the Birmingham Mail, The Bolton News, The Irish Post, the Bromsgrove Standard, and the Lancashire Telegraph, that's sufficient for the general notability guideline, or WP:BAND criterion #1. Keep. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:14, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Niteshift36 (talk) 08:18, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BAND. I don't see any substance in the links above that establish notability. Eusebeus (talk) 15:43, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
