Tom Snare

 * — (View AfD)

del vanity WP:MUSIC. failed to find independent reviews (may be me being lazy...). `'mikka 20:55, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * VERY Weak Keep This article lacks verifiable sources, unfortunately. Searching for the Philosophy EP (which supposedly shot him to fame in France) shows Wikipedia as the first hit, but one site which isn't verifiable claims he hit the #2 spot in the France Top 40. This site shows that he hit the bottom of some Top 40 charts and stayed there for a fair amount of time, though according to that source the highest he got was up to #28. I'll do some more digging to see if I can find any verifiable sources... There might just be something. Cheers, Lankybugger 21:21, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete No assertion of notability. AMG has nothing on the subject or his album. Subject's Web page & article in fr: gives me nothing to believe that this guy isn't like thousands of other DJs/dance artists out there. Also delete the article for his album Tom Snare's World.

 * Keep, charting musician. Allmusic isn't always comprehensive. --badlydrawnjeff talk 13:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - as per WP:MUSIC, meeting any one criteria isn't necessarily sufficient for notability. Rklawton 20:37, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Quoting the guideline directly: "A musician or ensemble...is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria." Emphasis mine. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete While he might be weekly charting, that is only 1 point passed out of 12 on WP:MUSIC such that he fails it by a long shot, isn't noteable enough. There is are no sources to anyone mentioning him so no assertation of notibility.--Dacium 07:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * VERY Weak Keep Last.fm lists him as reaching "No. 1 in several countries", so that might be evidence of notability. User:Jonwilliamsl
 * Delete - per nom. Rklawton 17:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep; article claims a charted hit single and album, and he may have had a hit in 2003. The 12 points noted by Dacium are indications of notability to meet WP:MUSIC; satisfying any one suggests the act is probably notable. I've added what appear to be reliable sources - profiles by Fun Radio and MCM - and incorporated what I can glean from these articles. Eludium-q36 19:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
