[edit] K.I.A.

Producervanity that does not appear to meet WP:MUSIC criteria. Releases are on self-published label? and none get any significant Google hits. Article is not helped by the extremely-fluffy writing and iTunes Music Store links - at the very least this needs cleanup and at worst, deletion. See also the near-identical Shinjuku zulu.

  • Merge with Kirby Ian Andersen the guy behind the project. He comes up with a mention in major newspapers in Canada and an IMDB mention and enough references in various databases to indicate he probably crawls over the standard of notabilty. Needs a rewrite since it is clearly a press release. Stirling Newberry - Bopnews 19:13, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Has an Allmusic.com entry including a biography see [1]. K.I.A. stands for Kirby Ian Andersen. Is verifiable and notable enough. At least three albums to his credit. Significant within genre and meets WP:NMG for mine. Capitalistroadster 20:09, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems notable enough. - N (talk) 23:45, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Kirby Ian Andersen, and redirect K.I.A. to KIA. I'm not convinced this guy has enough record sales to qualify as notable, and the vanity index of this article ought to make him cringe in embarassment, but... it's arguably close to WP:MUSIC... Pete.Hurd 20:02, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
