Chuggo


A very short biographal article based around a man who featured in just one youtube video, which is the only reference to him in the article, this has no or very little notability at all. The itself video that this person features does not appear to be very notable either. AndreNatas (talk) 19:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Fails WP:BIO/WP:BAND (Is he a band?!). Scarian Call me Pat  23:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

If you watch the video you will see it's the same guy. http://www.mcgilldaily.com/view.php?aid=5396, http://www.rapdict.org/Chuggo, and http://www.hiphopcanada.com/_site/entertainment/interviews/ent_int289.php Kbhoyt (talk) 00:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - Chuggo is about to blow up. Really big. He's got an album out, he's a recorded artist. He's got the internet going nuts.Kbhoyt (talk) 23:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing to prove a word of it. The picture could be any guy anywhere without a citation. DarkAudit (talk) 23:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete just not notable. Polly (Parrot) 00:08, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO. If he is "about to blow up", we'll need to wait until that happens. Maybe then an article can be written. But for now WP:CRYSTAL.  freshacconci  speak to me  00:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm also wondering if this is partially a hoax. He was tried for bottom-grabbing? And this is punishable for up to 20 years in prison? I'll need see where in the Canadian Criminal Code that gem lies before I believe it.  freshacconci  speak to me  00:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That part was edited out of the article by another editor. I guess it was an attempt at humour.  freshacconci  speak to me  17:17, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep The kids buy his shit, that's how he gets cash. — Masrith (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Strong Keep - Chuggo is a legitimate rapper from Toronto. He's a Toronto staple. Just because he's not notable in other circles doesn't mean he's not notable. Chuggo is to Toronto is what Cadence Weapon is to Edmonton. The next big thing. Saying he's not notable is like saying a town with a population of 175 such as Czar, Alberta(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czar%2C_Alberta) isn't notable. More people have heard of Chuggo than Czar.Ohinabus (talk) 18:50, 19 March 2008 (MST) — Ohinabus (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Procedural Comment. I semi-protected the Chuggo article for five days due to an unusual wave of IP vandalism that seems to have started today. If any IPs participate in this debate, and they want to change the article, I hope someone will assist them. EdJohnston (talk) 02:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Notability cannot be established. As Wikipedia is not a democracy, I'm sure the closing Admin will disregard those comments and take the proper actions. -- Shark face  217  03:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep He is notable enough to go beyond small circles. He has done a lot more than one record and has been interviewed by a popular Canadian hiphop site. Are you saying that normal indie artists cannot be notable? Klichka (talk) 22:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete without prejudice until such time that multiple, reliable non-trivial works are published about the subject. (jarbarf) (talk) 02:23, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, would not appear to meet the WP:MUSIC notability criteria. Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete - fails WP:MUSIC and WP:CRYSTAL. BWH76 (talk) 16:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep - Chuggo's influence over the internet, and in real life, is spreading. His video has been viewed nearly 80,000 times on youtube, and various parodies made [See Here]. Also, there are pictures to prove that the picture in the wiki page is Chuggo, as it is featured in his interview with Hip Hop Canada [Here]. Also, his album is for sale currently, on itunes at least [Here], although trying to find a link to any HMV or other listing was impossible for me. His notability is growing every second. For these reasons, i suggest a strong keep of this article... it is due to grow large folks, mark my words. -HoZKiNZ2 (talk) 00:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If it's due to grow large, there will still be a place here when that finally happens. --Onorem♠Dil 00:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Please note, i signed my above comment. Nonetheless, whether or not Chuggo is due to become larger than he already is is not the issue, he is already notable for his influence in the Hip Hop culture in Toronto, as shown by his interview, and his already large prescence on the internet. I was merely stating that he is going to become larger. This article should remain here based on his current notability, and will continue to grow as more information is learnt about him, and he becomes even more notable. -HoZKiNZ2 (talk) 00:20, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You had signed. My mistake. Must have been an edit conflict. I've replaced your original signature. Sorry about that. --Onorem♠Dil 00:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
