I have removed the notability tag from the article, because the Billboard article "Palm Pix Presents 'Songs' From Exotic Da Lata" establishes that the group had both an international concert tour and a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, meeting WP:MUSICBIO criterion four. Further, Smoke City's two albums for Jive Records meets criterion five of that guideline. If the unsubstantiated claims I removed from the article regarding Franck's film and television work were accurate, criterion 10 would be in play as well. The second Billboard article, "Smoke City looking for life after Levi's", indicates that Franck's work with that group cracked the top 20 in the UK, meeting criterion 2. Finally, although not part of the listed guidelines, the fact that Smoke City's song was notably used in a Levi's commercial in the UK, in a newsworthy manner, also goes toward notability. It seems to me that Franck's notability is pretty solid. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be a ton of reliable sources for biographical data on the man. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 03:15, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
