Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tame One (2nd nomination)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was  Keep. The assertion that sources exist in another language is compelling, along with the opinions expressed in the first AfD. Nobody supported the delete suggestion of the nomination, but there were two who opined for merge, which can still be pursued via the talk page of the article through the normal collaborative process. Clearly, deletion is not warranted.  Jerry  talk ¤ count/logs 18:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

This artist fails WP:MUSIC, frankly I'm not sure how it survived the first nomination for deletion a year ago. There are zero non-trivial sources from reliable third party publications about this subject. JBsupreme (talk) 04:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to The Weathermen (hip hop group). Doesn't seem to have standalone notability, but the hip hop group looks borderline notable. Someone might wanna take a look at all the other related articles. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 04:20, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

As Tame One's former webmaster, I would be more than happy to contribute more to this article to make it more notable. It may take me some time to re-link to old publications, but for those who are interested, you can find information in notable hip-hop periodicals such as The Source, XXL and if I remember correctly I believe he's done an interview with Rolling Stone. He's a New Jersey native, and during the mid-90s he was interviewed frequently by New Jersey area newspapers as well, but I don't have access to those, I'm sure somebody in New Jersey with library access could access those periodicals. As far as Tame One himself goes, he was frontman for The Artifacts, he was a huge money-maker for Eastern Conference Records, he's aligned himself with several of the projects for The Weathermen, and is getting ready to release a new album.
