[edit] KidCrusher

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

Australian death metal artist "well known by the world wide web", but with pretty weak claims of notability as far as I can see. Released an album on what the article claims is a major record label, but doesn't look like one to me - Foctam Records. Claims to have got to number 3 on several (unspecified) Australian independent music charts, which seems odd with worldwide sales of 300. Another record sold 4000 copies, allegedly. Currently Seeking Label. None of the sources look reliable Created by User:Foctam, so probably WP:COI issues as well. Fails WP:MUSIC. Delete. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 20:53, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating his assorted albums and his alternative persona:

  • Delete Lots of marketing puff, but "sold over 300 copies world wide"? Come on. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 22:19, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Delete for now. the main KidCrusher page, he seems to have some sources at the bottom. Delete the others. SolidPlaid 02:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all - The "references" that SolidPlaid refers to are merely links to his personal website, a label's website (which happens to share the name of the editor who created the article), and a couple of news front page links that don't have anything to do with him. The "Fangoria" one is only a press release. None of these meet the suggested criteria for a reliable source. Wickethewok 02:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I guess an article can always be made once good sources are found. I looked at all 138 ghits, nothing helps. SolidPlaid 02:19, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all The artist fails WP:MUSIC, therefore the daughter articles do, too. (I do love articles nearly devoid of capital letters and punctuation, though....) —  MusicMaker5376 02:30, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per failing WP:BAND 'n' the lack of reliable sources. and the albums too, obviously. tomasz. 02:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all. Google News and Google News Archive has no record of him. [1]. Charts appear to community TV station and Myspace charts. No reliable sources at the moment. [2]

  • Delete all A distinct lack of independent reliable sources asserting notability. -- Mattinbgn\talk 22:20, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
