[edit] Big Saltine

Big Saltine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable musician with no references or citations, of local interest only. The author, who is also the subject, objected to my having speedied it and insisted it come to AfD; since I don't seem to be impartial, I thought I'd oblige. I would ask the deleting admin to salt this article because of its author's insistence upon its recreation. Accounting4Taste:talk 05:41, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete, if I had seen this it would've already been gone. Fails WP:BIO, WP:COI and WP:MUSIC in every way possible. –– Lid(Talk) 05:48, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
    • It was already a speedy delete. Apparently, he had a problem with that. I second salting the page, and deletion.-Carados (talk) 05:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete Not notable. Actually I can't think of a policy ground that this doesn't violate. Xymmax (talk) 06:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and salt. Ravenna1961 (talk) 06:09, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand why everyone wants to speedy-delete this. #1 you can't under A7 which is all that has been tried. #2 Why spend so much time on trying to get rid of an actual artist with fans from LA to Texas to North Carolina. Yes Big Saltine's fans are mostly local, but so are Kinfolks, and I see an entire article about them and their new album. Also Big Saltine was in the Daily Herald, a nationally recognized news paper. My last argument is that Bi Saltine is more popular than 1/8 of the people on wikipedia, why not delete everyone less popular than him first, and why does this one article about a real musician (unlike other Wikipedia posts that are completely false, see Shoeless Joe Jackson's profile, he was called a motherf*cking c***suck*r for at least three months. Shouldn't admins be more worried about that than a real artist with fans across the country?Big Saltine 06:10, 22 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Big Saltine (talk • contribs)

  • Speedy delete - I deleted this and several other related articles on the first go-around. The only thing that remotely asserts notability is "recently voted the area's #1 rapper," which is still much too vague to be useful. Voted by who? Rolling Stone? His family? For that matter, what area? A cursory google search suggests that his songs are unreleased, except possibly on MySpace or YouTube. The record company he claims to run appears to be a non-entity. --Bongwarrior (talk) 06:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

By the local news paper. I am sorry I am not giving where we all live, I just don't trust people on the internet. Big Saltine hasn't released his first nationwide album yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Big Saltine (talk • contribs) 06:20, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
