This is a BLP article which lacks sources, there is no evidence of non-trivial coverage by reliable third parties. JBsupreme (talk) 17:26, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and expand. Asserts notability with two #1's on a notable chart, and it turns out |0 that's not the only chart Boss was on. This is a hard name to Google, but I did find this AMG bio which is certainly non trivial. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep. A quick search before nominating would have found plenty - an allmusic bio and review, Detroit Metro Times article, and from Google News, articles in the LA Times amongst others. Try tagging as unreferenced and leaving time for others to find sources next time if you're not prepared to search for sources yourself.--Michig (talk) 21:44, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
