Backtothefuture[edit]

NN vanity. Google search comes up with lots of results due to the movie, but none of them except the wikipedia page refer to this person from what I can tell. VegaDark 01:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I hate to disagree with those that have voted before me on this one, but the music video Schfifty-Five, shows up 31,800 times on Google, and has been watched (at least by kids, and their annoyed parents) all over the world. It seems to be popular with 5th, 6th, and 7th-graders. Though I can't stand the video nor the song personally, my son and most of his friends love them, right up there with Al Yankovic. Because of its widespread audience, it is a notable achievement, and the creator(s) of the music video deserve mention (and rotton tomatoes). In relation to the video, "backtothefuture" comes up 741 times on Google, crediting him with creating this animated piece of ____. Therefore, due to the widespread distribution and viewing of his creation, I believe backtothefuture qualifies as a notable individual as per Wikipedia policy. Though I hope his future videos are better than this one. Go for it! 12:49, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable, vanity and attempt to contact. Ifnord 16:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Delete It seems non notable. But per Go for it, if creating a stick drawing animation to a song, and giving it away to over 5000 people over the internet, is the same as being a published author, then perhaps we should keep. I think, though, that in common sense terms, as a flash animator, he (or she)is not yet notable. Not sure if it matter but there is no verifiable biography content here. For all we know, this is not a person, but a group of people. Perhaps a mention on the Group X page (the music artists who performed Schfifty-Five) would make sense.Obina 16:33, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It seems the voting has been changed. Can someone investigate?Obina 16:37, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, user:159.134.77.247 had blanked out some delete votes. I have reverted, I think all is kosher now. Ifnord 16:47, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Gröûp X per 'Go for it'. It appears that Schfifty-Five is the only notable thing this person has done and that already redirects to Gröûp X. -- Shinmawa 18:25, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
