MC Babushka

 * They got me! It took quite a long time for me to recognize a hoax. mikka (t) 00:23, 19 July 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep, I think he just about makes the cut. Dcarrano 20:18, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Due to the paper shortage, we regrettably cannot document every person who's ever posted on a forum, but this guy is more than just a forum user. Friday 20:21, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Dcarrano. --TheMidnighters 20:29, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep MC Babushka is quite honestly a legend within the Oasis fan internet community. He is not just some random virgin browsing a web forum looking for topless women, but rather he has an endless wealth of knowledge for all things Oasis and indie.  Mention you know "Babu" on any Oasis forum, and you will be given instant respect and credibility.  --Scubes 18:49, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That doesn't mean he's encyclopedia worthy. Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;Talk&#08596;Contributions 23:25, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete nn. and perhaps Friday is referring to the not-paper shortage =). Sasquatch&#08242;&#08596;Talk&#08596;Contributions 23:25, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep notable fan. JamesBurns 09:23, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - we would run out even virtual paper if we would mention all the possible forum contributors in all the web forums. (Not to mention that the words could conceivable mean "motorcycle club russian mother" :-7) - Skysmith 10:35, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep To be fair, Ville (MC Babushka) is actually a real important symbol in the global Oasis community. He used to be a big staple in the Brit Pop scene in the late 90s and was always spotted among the more promenent Europeans during release parties.  He's not just some "forum user" as some people would like to describe him.  I'm trying to look for my article from Q Magazine a few years back so I could show you that he was briefly mentioned in an Oasis article.  It was something about how obessesive he was with the band and how he wouldn't eat/sleep until they came to Helsinki to perform.  Out of sympathy, the band invited him to a few parties and shows in the UK and that's when he started to get some attention.  I think he's a small part of British pop culture, but I vote he stays TheSunTheSea
 * A groupie is a groupie is a groupie. nothing notable. Every band of some notability has obssessive fans, who know how often every band member takes a leak per day. There is no notability in this. mikka (t) 19:35, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

In regards to Mikka's comments: Yes, I agree that a groupie is not notable enough to be featured on an encyclopedia, but when a band such as Oasis dedicates a song to a person such as Ville, I think it's quite notable. How many "groupies" do you know of that have a song dedicated to them? In case you're wondering, Oasis wrote a song a few years ago called "Wonderwall". I suggest you check it out --TheSunTheSea

KEEP! How dare you consider even deleting this page. Ville is a legend and a godsend and w/out question a reason for Oasis' career lasting so on. He also is a legend in the wrestling circle. Back in 1999 the WWF was doing a house show in Turku, Finland. Babu was there and The Big Show was doing a fan challenge and he got into the ring and CHOKESLAMMED the 7 foot, 500+ pound Big Show. This would not only be a disservice to virgins and Oasis fans everywhere, but to humankind itself. Keep MC Babushka. He's also a musical artist and has created several albums, mostly of Finnish bippity boppity crap music, but he tries at least.

OK guys, you have had your share of giggle and thrill in making fools of us. How about writing something useful for a change? mikka (t) 00:26, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Hmm...I don't think this Mikka character is for real. Seriously though, the facts I mentioned alone merits MC Babushka's spot on Wikipedia. That's just my two cents. -- TheSunTheSea

KEEP IT! :)
