[edit] Beefy (artist)

Podcaster, amateur webcomic artist, apparently unsigned nerdcore hip-hop artist (no albums yet). His claim to fame is two animations on albinoblacksheep.com. Please excuse me if I take that as a different meaning of the word fame from the one I am used to. Just zis Guy you know? 10:38, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, no non-homemade records, no indication of significance. Just some guy with a website. Friday (talk) 21:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Most nerdcore albums are "home made". Also he was present on the Rhyme Torrents[1] compilation, which is the first major collab between several nerdcore artists. Also he is featured in Project: Nerdcore [2], the nerdcore documentry. --Kahless720 09:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

  I would hazard a guess that across the board, most records are homemade. Most records also get no reputable sources talking about them. This is exactly why we don't cover most records. Friday (talk) 14:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Since the last time this deletion issue was brought up I've gotten more coverage and reviews. From what I understand at the end of August I'll be mentioned in an issue of Wired Magazine. Not to be the vainest man in the world, but in the realm of nerdcore I'd say that I'm at least a bit significant. Beefyness 08:27, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep He may only have two known cartoons, but he's currently working on a few Nerdcore-Hiphop projects (Tri-Forc3, new album), most Nerdcore Hiphop is created in a home or private office, and in his trade, he's basically the best I've heard, and really stays true to the Nerdcore genre.

* Delete - Beefy's too fat for wiki —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.68.48.120 (talk • contribs). 21:03, 28 July 2006

• Delete It's not as though he's an actual artist or a reputable one at least. Many people with flash cartoons just don't make wiki pedia articles like this about themselves. This is just another cheap attempt to be on the internet and wikipedia. Definitely delete. Falloople 07:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - in the "media coverage" section 4 links are given. One is a blog, and the ref to G4 is a 404 now. The other two need context - does an interview by comixfan imply some degree of notability? Gimmetrow 23:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Also can someone check if Kahless720 and TimCoPress are sock puppets since these are their only edits -Bogsat 15:01, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I can assure you that these are not fake posts or accounts or whatever. Timco, Kahless, and Amy are just people who like my stuff. If you want to discredit their opinions and votes just because they want to keep the page up, then by all means don't let them have a say. Beefyness 05:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

*Keep:This page is not in violation of any of the vanity page rules. Beefy has gained a lot of street cred in the last few years as more people listen to his albums, read his comics and tune into his ever entertaining podcasts. knowlege of beefy and his work is a more than excellent introduction into the little known nerdcore hip-hop scene/genre. if there is a place on the web for things worth knowing about it's here on wikipedia, that is why beefy has a page here to begin with. 67.188.213.76 00:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)Amy Hanson

• Delete; this fails WP:MUSIC as far as I can figure. There is one press mention, on the website of a local TV station; the other links are blogs or forums, and aren't reliable. Albums aren't on a label. No claim of touring. Closing admin: I don't envy you; please do check for puppets. *sigh* Mangojuice^talk 20:57, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
