Kurt Klang[edit]

I removed the proposed deletion on this article because I noticed proposed deletion was contested back in April of 06. However, I agree with the assertion that it needs to be deleted. There are zero references in the article, none can be found in a search, he doesn't appear to meet criteria for notability. Raven1977 (talk) 00:03, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as the prod-er, I believe that this article does not meet the nobility requirements.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 01:24, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. I have vague memories of this fey New Waver back in days of distant yore, but I agree with the assessment that he's supremely non-notable. X MarX the Spot (talk) 04:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Sources will be tough to find for a musician whose popularity was in the late 70s and early 80s. The Belgian Pop & Rock Archives website contends that the band Klang had "very good airplay" with three of their singles. There's a hint of WP:MUSIC criterion #11 there, for the band at least, but it still would need better sourcing. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 18:12, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that both the band, X-Pulsion, and the subject's brother Klaus Klang are marginally notable enough -- both articles could use some attention. The subject's notabilty can not be inherited from the band or his brother.--Jordan 1972 (talk) 20:53, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Agreed. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
