Talk:Tony Holiday

Notability?
Is this person really notable? I find no hits for "tony holiday" in Google Book search, Google news search, and the only ones I see in a standard google search are a couple for lyrics - none about the person. Furthermore, the source for his homosexuality seems to be a fan site. I'm dubious about this article... -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 05:46, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Tony Holiday meets Notability (music) several times over:

Additionally, he has a large volume of Google entries and has articles on both the German and French Wikipedias. I am not quite sure why you have issues with his notability, perhaps because he was not so popular in the USA or anglophone nations. I have added further sources for his passing of AIDS in 1990. Let me know if you'd prefer more. ExRat (talk)
 * 1) He has a charted hit on any national music chart. - He has charted several times in the top twenty in both Germany and Austria.
 * 2) Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. - Two songs charted, and therefore assume they were on the radio.
 * 3) 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). - He was on both Polydor Records and Koch International.
 * 4) Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc. (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 appeared on numerous German television shows such as ZDF-Hitparade and one charted song was used prominently in a film by François Ozon.

The German article states that he has been a guest on numerous music programs, not that he hosted any. If he did host any, which ones? 188.46.246.145 (talk) 01:26, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
