== nothing listed about Aswad Ayinde ! pathetic wikipedia as usual
There is just One(1) reference for the statement "The Largest-Selling Rap Hroup of All Time", it is a biography of Lauren Hill, And it makes no mention of this fact. I am going to remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.147.88.25 (talk) 09:43, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Fugees → The Fugees – Their official website identifies them as The Fugees.[1] Unreal7 (talk) 23:26, 12 December 2015 (UTC) Relisted. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:23, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- Disagree: I googled Fugees and most of the information searches Fugees. While you are correct, that there are references of "The Fugees" on their website, there are numerous album covers that refer to them solely as "Fugees". This is not like "The Simpsons", in my opinion. A tricky one to say the least, but I'm comfortable leaving the article as "Fugees", unless more examples can be provided to indicate otherwise. Very strange though as "The Jackson 5" are called The Jackson Five via Wikipedia and many album covers have them as "Jackson 5". I am unsure at this time. An argument can be made for both cases and I'm interested in hearing both but at this time I'm okay leaving them as Fugees Marty2Hotty (talk) 23:06, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose. Per own discography and secondary sources (RS, Billboard). Neodop (talk) 13:20, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose – There are several reliable sources that refer to the group as The Fugees, with the official video listing on Vevo probably being the most notable, but the number of sources that simply reference Fugees is much more overwhelming, including recently published sources such as these: 1 and 2. It is also clear from album covers that Fugees is more common. Per WP:COMMONNAME, we should stick with that for the article title and leave the alternate name The Fugees in the opening sentence of the lead like it is now. --GoneIn60 (talk) 01:45, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
