[edit] Lance Romañce and Lance Romance

nn musician, no entries on artistdirect or allmusic (though lots of Google hits). This really reads like a copyvio, too. And the allegation that he was responsible for "We Are the World" at teh age of six are ludicrous. User:Zoe|^(talk) 07:23, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - sadly not patent nonsense, but nonsense all the same. CLW 09:59, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Lance Romañce, delete Lance Romance. Only the second page is nonsense.User:Giantrats

Two people seem to have submitted entries for the same artist, one of them a gag. The first Lance Romance page is nonsense and should be deleted. The other page, Lance Romañce, is not nonsense at all and is a legitimate, original entry which I wrote myself. Unfortunately, because it has a special character in the URL, I am unable to link directly to the article so that other people may discus it.

The artist in question is popular in underground circles in several scenes and cities, and has made an impact on these scenes. Hence the Google entries, but not the AllMusic. Keeping the second article, which should justify itself, is a good idea. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Giantrats (talk • contribs).

• Redirect Lance Romance to Lance Romañce seems to solve nonsense and special char issues. Dlyons493 12:50, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
  • It doesn't solve the lack of notability and lack of artistdirect or allmusic entries. Nor does it solve the question of copyvio. If it is not a copyvio, it needs to be rewritten into an encyclopedic style if it is kept. User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:02, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Also, the question arises: the User who created the article is User:Giantrats. Lance's official website is giantrats.com. Does that mean this is an autobiography? User:Zoe|^(talk) 21:07, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• The listing Lance Romance was a gag and has been edited so that it now merely acts as a mirror link to the legitimate entry Lance Romañce. The Lance Romañce listing is unsearchable due to the tilde over the n (ñ) and there was some confusion. All offending information has been deleted. The Lance Romañce posting complies to all of Wikipedia's policies and is utterly sincere. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Manifestsanity (talk • contribs) 18:42, 24 September 2005 (UTC).
• Delete. I had just noticed what Zoe noticed. nn/vanity; does not, to my mind, meet WP:MUSIC. --MCB 22:27, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete vanity/promo. Wile E. Heresiarch 02:27, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It reads like it was copied from somewhere, but I was not able to find a source. In anycase, importance does not appear to have been estabilished. If it is, my vote can be changed. Vegaswikian 07:15, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep
  • I wrote the article for a music criticism class, and have been editing it to make it more wiki-firnedly. I am not Lance, though I did send the article to him as well.
    • Lance has played numerous concerts with Lightning Bolt, as well as with and in bands with members of USAIsAMonster, The Moldy Peaches and The Slip. All of whom are quite notable and are listed in AllMusic. Lance has also been on local magazine covers, radio spots, etc...
    • Definitely an artist worthy of mention, if not such a full description.
