A non-notable singer. Schuym1 (talk) 14:38, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. Had one appearance in the charts, at #76... that doesn't assert even a shred of notability. Most likely written by a fan. TopGearFreak 15:37, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy/Snow Delete 1 hit at Number 76? Not remotely notable. --Numyht (talk) 16:57, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
At WP:MUSICBIO, requirement #2 says "Has had a charted hit on any national music chart." I think he would pass that, if we can get that verified. So my vote would be Keep if that can be verified, ~~but if not Delete.~~

Followup, I did find him mentioned in a reliable source, found here, which may be enough to meet requirement #1 as well. Tavix (talk) 17:03, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Billboard website confirms that the song charted, so it meets criteria #2 of WP:MUSIC. Combined with the other sources mentioned, there should be enough for a very short article. BradV 20:46, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The MUSIC criteria don't say how high a song, single or album should chart, just that it should make the chart, which it did.- Mgm|^(talk) 22:23, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:MUSIC#C2. Criteria makes no mention of how high up a chart you need to be, just that it has charted. Billboard reference confirms, notability established. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 04:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
