Proposed deletion of Kidd Kraze


The article Kidd Kraze has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Only claim of notability is the high number of YouTube views for one video... and that claim appears false, going by the YouTube page linked to.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

a suggestion
RiceRickies!

Let me suggest that you review WP:BAND, which is our guideline for what would qualify a musician for having a Wikipedia page. We have to do that, because otherwise, every dude who forms an all-accordian quartet to play at his birthday party would have their Wikipedia page, and reading over that guide would tell you what sort of supporting evidence you should be putting forth. (For example, you'll see that YouTube counts, as impressive as 2.4 million is, isn't actually on the list). And it may save both you from the effort of putting forth articles that aren't going to make the cut, which ends up wasting both your time and the tie of other editors.

(Let me also note that if you're trying to promote the Bank Mob line-up, Wikipedia is a really lousy place to promote musical acts. I mean, when you're looking for some hot new sounds, do you come to Wikipedia??? Add to that that the article can be edited by any shmuck with a mad-on for the musician, and it becomes a questionable way of investing your time.)

If you've got any questions, let me know! --Nat Gertler (talk)
