Qualifications for listing
I would appreciate it if any contributor to this article could list which of the following Criteria for listing this page meets.

A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, dj etc) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 
 * Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country*
 * Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one large or medium-sized country.
 * Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour over notable musical venues in at least one large or medium-sized country*, reported in notable and verifiable sources.
 * Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
 * Has been prominently featured in any major music media.


 * Meets. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 08:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.
 * Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
 * Has won a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno or Mercury Music Award.
 * Has won or placed a major music competition.


 * Meets Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 08:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that page.)
 * Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.
 * Has been the subject of a half hour or hour broadcast on a national radio network.

 As it's a musician page it is required to meet the WP:Music requirements. If it does not then it qualifies for deletion. Sorry for being so sticky about this. Thank you. -- SusanLarson (User Talk, New talk, Contribs) 07:54, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Meets quite comfortably actually. I know its hard to research since Papoose is such a common name, and Google is a bit hard to use in this case, but he does in fact meet the criteria very easily. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 08:28, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Is the word "mean" missing?
The phrase "the term papoose is used to a child carrier" in the article read "the term papoose is used to mean a child carrier" ??? Daqu 05:48, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed, thanks. Though in the future, you're welcome fix these yourself!  Feel free to be bold.  :) --Elonka 18:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

'Papoose in Peru'
I've just removed the above image and caption from the article. The style of dress seems to support that it depicts an indigenous Peruvian woman and child, as opposed to the rather unlikely alternative of an Algonquin woman who merely happens to be in Peru. Thus, whether the caption is meant to refer to the child or the child carrier, it would seem to be exactly the type of offensive usage described earlier in the article, and wholly inappropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Unless I've grossly misunderstood something the image itself needs a more appropriate caption on Wikipedia/Wikimedia as well, or more likely to be removed outright if it cannot be contextualized with some legitimate description (it is no longer in use on any pages since I removed it here), but unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with the process for doing so.
