The Curse of Vanilla Ice

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:GNG, with lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Whether one believes in superstitions, some do receive enough coverage to write about more than the mere mention of one. This is not one of them, with only trivial mention in coverage. The article creator declined another editor's PROD and then removed without explanation a tag asking for more sources to establish GNG. Does not seem encyclopedic enough to merge/redirect to 2013 Houston Texans season. —Bagumba (talk) 03:57, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. The only curse involving Vanilla Ice is on us, because we have to discuss Vanilla Ice. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:08, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete- a standalone article on this topic seems unnecessary when it can be easily (and very briefly) contained within the Vanilla Ice article, which already had a sentence on the halftime performance. It now reads: "On September 15, 2013, Vanilla Ice performed at the halftime show of a Houston Texans game. Houston went on to lose the remaining 14 games of the season, leading some players to blame Vanilla Ice for the losing streak." That's quite enough on this subject, me thinks.

 * delete fails WP:ONEEVENT .--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:57, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment I incorrectly applied WP:ONEEVENT to this case. That's for people claiming notability for one event, not "one event".  However, This still is not noteworthy.  The article doesn't even claim what season it happened nor what is the date of the event.  It is poorly written and at best should be taken out of mainspace until it can be re-written into a bona fide article. At worst, it still isn't notable and should be removed.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:36, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I inserted several sources supporting this supposed curse. Happy now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elijahadmire (talk • contribs) 02:39, 18 March 2014‎ (UTC)
 * The continued trivial nature of even the latest additions underscores WP:NOTNEWS.—Bagumba (talk) 04:38, 18 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete/merge - I haven't researched this specific phenomenon, but if it is indeed a well known thing, it could very easily fit into the existing Vanilla Ice article. :-) Bali88 (talk) 21:20, 18 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Added Added what season it happened and what day the game took place.--Elijahadmire (talk) 03:05, 19 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. The event is already covered in Vanilla Ice. Not a useful search term, so no need for a redirect. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 16:10, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
