Bangs_(hip_hop_artist)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails to meet WP guidelines on notability for living persons. As a music fan I have failed to find anything other than a viral video from 2009, and a single instance of fame doesn't make WP notability. One must win the same award, or album success with a major label twice to meet notability guidelines Monstermarch (talk) 03:59, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment In 2011 when first AFD happened first media appearances ended, result was keep. Since then nothing new, or noteworthy, or notable has come from bangs. The previous keep was tenuous. Thus while I wont vote Ill recommend deletion. Unless someone can support this artist retaining any relevance. Monstermarch (talk) 04:05, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2013 January 17.  Snotbot   t &bull; c &raquo;  04:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)


 * "a single instance of fame doesn't make WP notability". That's not true: WP:MUSBIO says one award, one hit single/album, one gold record, one international tour can all be enough to gain notability. (Whether any of that happened here is another matter.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - there are a number of references to him in the media, indicating that he has managed to use his YouTube fame - signing with a major label, appearing on a national television advertisement and performing at the BDO. Dan arndt (talk) 04:12, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - don't see why this is a reason to delete the page and it does meet the WP:MUSICBIO. JoyRider (talk) 18:34, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
