to John D Morton. Trying to google "X__X", failing, and concluding they're not notable isn't really a conclusive argument ( is only half of it; it shows ignorance of how search engines work with non-alphabetic characters as well as of how the band used its name). From a legalistic point of view it meets  #6 (Morton and Fier) and it is also subject of a lengthy New York Times articlehttp://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/30/arts/music/the-short-lived-cleveland-band-x__x-is-back.html?_r=0 which carries slightly more weight than your typical source (coverage in Blurthttp://blurtonline.com/news/infamous-70s-clevo-no-wave-band-x_x-to-play-rare-shows/, Lakewood Observerhttp://lakewoodobserver.com/read/2014/08/19/xx-local-boys-make-good, and the cited by Jon Savage who's a very distinguished writer on punk). On the other hand, a very short-lived band with little in the way of releases might be better combined with the article on its principal member. There's some other online coverage of John D Morton (often referred to as John Morton) and his ventureshttp://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/nov/14/clevelands-early-punk-pioneers-ohiohttp://www.cmj.com/feature/qa-john-d-morton-x__x/http://noisey.vice.com/blog/electric-eels-interviewhttp://www.allmusic.com/album/the-eyeball-of-hell-mw0000594066http://www.cleveland.com/music/index_story.ssf?/music/more/local/cle/2/index.htmlhttps://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LBCZvsVKomwC&lpg=PA376&ots=fnXv7iQJnL&dq=john%20morton%20%22electric%20eels%22&pg=PA376#v=onepage&q=john%20morton%20%22electric%20eels%22&f=false in addition to the cited; plus this is a 1970s band so there is likely to be more in newspaper and magazine archives
