[edit] Goat (musician)

Pretty marginal claim to fame. Expand or delete? Simesa 00:58, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, fails to meet notability criteria of WP:MUSIC, according to allmusic.com he has 1 album released on independant label Lightyear Entertainment.[1] --Stormie 01:07, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

• He still exists, which indicates that your reason isn't good enough to vote delete. —Hollow Wilerding 00:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Song "Great Life" known throughout US from Kia Sportage commercial (where people toss the keys to one another). Notability criteria of WP:MUSIC not applicable here since that article does not even deal with songs made famous as part of commercials (which is a shame since some commercial music is better known than some album music that charts). Side note: about a year ago, I was humming this song and driving Google crazy trying to figure out its name - that's why Wikipedia is here. Jtmichcock 02:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Expansion would be preferable. rodii 02:19, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, if only for the Kia commercial reference --RoySmith 03:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable enough for me. I added some more info to the article. Garion96 (talk) 04:26, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Has Allmusic.com page showing two albums one on Sony and the Kia advertisement puts him over the line. [2]. Capitalistroadster 05:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for KIA ad, which they drove into our brains for months and months. I hate that song.Herostratus 05:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep having your music used in a often-repeated commercial makes someone notable. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Not just a garage band being that they do have some wider exposure. Still doesn't say they are any good. --StuffOfInterest 13:08, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as per the above(s). —Hollow Wilerding 00:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete notablity is due to one thing and whose gonna remember that in two years.--MONGO 03:29, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Sony release; Kia song is clearly well-known; Article needs incoming links to attract attention for expansion. -Meegs 06:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Jtmichcock. Seano1 20:57, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
