[edit] Doc Brown

I'm nominating several articles for rappers connected to the AfDed article Poisonous Poets (separately.) This person's claim to fame is being a part of one radio show, and being the younger brother of a notable writer. This does not meet WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO, but there may be a lot more to it than this, so I am bringing it here for your consideration. Also, the article needs to be cleaned up a lot if kept.

  • Redirect to Doctor Emmett Brown as the primary Doc Brown of note. Danny Lilithborne 05:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect as mentioned by Danny Lilithborne. HumbleGod 06:36, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Doctor Emmett Brown.--Tdxiang 07:16, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect with 1.21 gigawatts at 88 mph per above. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 07:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Poisonous Poets, are one of the biggest acts in British hip-hop, and suggesting them for deletion is in my opinion ludicrous. They have received HEAVY rotation on mainstream radio, toured nationally, and in UK hip-hop at least, mixtapes are the main format of distribution, as there is far less backing from major labels compared to the US scene. Check my edit history for UK rap knowledge reliability. Yeanold Viskersenn 11:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect no allmusic entry for either Doc Brown or Poisonous Poets, so they don't appear to have any records which means they probably don't meet WP:MUSIC --Pboyd04 15:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep on grounds of having had much national radio play. Tim Ivorson 2006-07-04

Unless I'm misunderstanding WP:MUSIC, the artist only needs to meet ONE of the criteria, so whether or not they've released an album thats featured on allmujsic is irrelevent, as they have:

  • Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. (BBC Radio 1)
  • Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio network.
  • Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (Hip Hop Connection, Mixmag)
  • Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country
  • Is frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable sub-culture.

Poisonous Poets and therefore its members qualify for all of the above, so I fail to see why this article is at all being considered for deletion. Yeanold Viskersenn 16:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure that membership of a notable group is sufficient for notability? Tim Ivorson 2006-07-04
