Buggin Malone

No vote, procedural nom. This was twice speedy deleted, and tagged for repost again, for which it's ineligible, see WP:CSD. The article is about an independent musician, who may meet WP:MUSIC (his CD's are sold here, e.g.) and/or may be independently notable as a native-american rapper. Or he may be NN. You decide! - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Anybody who mails their CDs to CDBaby can put them up for sale. So anybody who wants to spend up to $1,500 to have a pressing is in business. Of course every gigging act has a pressing these days. I understand that actual sales are very low at CDBaby. --Richhoncho 21:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep According to WP:MUSIC, "Has won a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno or Mercury Music Award." The NAMMY is notable enough to merit a Misplaced Pages article, also has a Minnesota Tribune blurb on front page and has been covered in another article. But considering the list of people whom have won a NAMMY and it's own notability, it seems this musician is notable, and the article needs to be expanded. Yanksox 21:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, my vote hinges on the whether the NAMMY is considered a "major music award." Right now I'm leaning towards delete; the notability of an awards' recipients does not necessarily make it a "major" award. Considering how little has been written in the NAMMY article in the year since it was created, I'm having a hard time seeing how it would be considered a major award. -- H·G (/works) 23:28, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
    The question relies on the defintion of defining on what makes an award a major one. Yanksox 03:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd just like to note that Misplaced Pages is not America (whether it be North, South, or the United States of). English-speaking editors from all over the world contribute to en.wikipedia.org. hoopydink 20:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

*The Wu Tang Clan ain't nuttin' ta f*ck with. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soaring Eagle (talkcontribs) . *If you can have an article on wikipedia about oral sex and a list of sex positions then you should be able to have an article on buggin malone.--Remember Wounded Knee!!! 16:40, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

We regrettably have notability criteria for people, and only a gut-feeling-based notability criteria for sex positions (and, if I may add, obscure and completely unheard of sex-related topics have been deleted). In either case, their relevance is not in question here. If you find such topics inappropriate, please AfD them separately. We're discussing this article here. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 17:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Look, if you people delete this article, Im just going to put it back up so just forget about it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soaring Eagle (talkcontribs) .

And in that case it will be deleted as a substantially same, previously deleted content; if sufficiently different, it may still meet quick death in another deletion debate. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 17:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know how to upload pictures into articles? I tried it and it was too confusing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soaring Eagle (talkcontribs) .

Please consult the help pages. Deletion debate is regrettably not a good place to find help requests. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 17:51, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete per the above attack and that the article doesn't even have any sort of links or any internal information to push any sort of notability. A complete failure of WP:MUSIC criteria. Could probably be deleted per {{db-context}}. Ryulong 19:09, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
As much as Soaring Eagle is testing our limits, I don't think that is enough for deletion. Deletion of an article shouldn't be used as somesort of punishment towards a user. I have added the info of the NAMMY, prehaps Soaring Eagle could help add context since s/he knows about the subject. Yanksox 19:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
True, but is are the Native American Music Awards notable for inclusion per WP:MUSIC? They just seem to be an esoteric award for musicians of Native American heritage. Especially when this artist is in the (to the best of my knowledge) small group of Native American hip-hop artists (first ghit is his own webpage, followed by 920 other pages). Ryulong 19:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
For this issue we need clarification of what makes an award "major," In WP:MUSIC, a band is notable if one of it's members is a notable musician by Misplaced Pages's standards. This award appears to be notable with a notable list, and should be enough to carry this subject. Yanksox 20:07, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

NOTE. This artist apparently has become increasingly popular among several Native American communities, specially the Winnebago and Potawatomi of Wisconsin. I promise, right here and now, that I'll try my very best in the next days to research on the subject and provide every bit of info I can dig, as well as researching on its alleged notability, for which I cannot vouch now.
