I think it is worth bringing this back, it seems to have been deleted just because he was famous on youtube.
There are other articles available things that happened on the internet, such as
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base etc
I think Lasse Gjertsen is only just begining and likely to become more popular, he has listeners on last.fm, probably would have a lot more if his mp3s were available, as it is an enormous amount of people watch the youtube video.
Here is an article about how MTV wants him on the back of the video http://blog.eardrumsmusic.com/2007/01/mtv-wants-youtube-star-lasse-gjertsen.html
Here is a wall street journal interview with him - http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB116581381680846327-u6NlXOnRBxZ6qCKc4WoFeWQ_wgo_20071212.html
It would also be relevant to link to him from a general article on cut n paste artists and another about beatbox.
I have to say that overall the whole thing about 'notability' seems to be a bit arbitrary - are all blogs banned, what about traditional media that have blog sections, is youtube totally banned ? Is there a list of sites that count towards non-notability or that make one more notable ?
Addition - Kevin L 13th March 07: He's not just some guy who made some funny/cool music videos. He's also a musician and an extremely talented animator. Perhaps it's a bit odd to have an article about him (he's only 22!) but I think that he is someone a lot of people respect (at least 18,000 subscribe to his youtube videos). Maybe leave it a year or two.
{{Editprotected}} I would like to submit the Norwegian well documented article to this page. Hogne 07:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
