[edit] Double Dee and Steinski
- – (View log)
This article should be deleted because it fails to establish notability (WP:N), it fails to list or give references or sources (Wikipedia:Attribution) and it appears to be mainly a copied version of text from elsewhere. A cleanup article has been placed since August 2006 but the article has been little improved. The article states they have been influential to other bands, but gives no reference to such a statement. I also feel it fails notability of WP:MUSIC. LordHarris 17:36, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Delete It looks like a vanity or promtional article to me. No notability established and no refrences cited. Rackabello 18:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. Double Dee and Steinski (actually Steinski, primarily) are featured in Doug Pray documentary Scratch about the first generation of hip-hop DJ's, was written about by Robert Christgau (back in 1986 here), and Hua Hsu (a much smaller name critic who still has been published by places like Slate, here), credited as an inspiration to turntablists like DJ Shadow, and et cetera. The Christgau piece is a source in the article already, which already established notability and a level of attribution already. As for the article, careful pruning will bring it back inline with WP:ATT.hateless 21:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Keep. The article needs a cleanup though.--Sparklism 21:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
