The result was Speedy keep per WP:SNOW. The article was only a couple hours old when nominated. I cleaned it up, added a source and chart positions — consensus is that any singer who has charted is very likely to be notable. He's charted on four major Billboard charts, so by God, he must be notable. Non-admin closure. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete still qualifies as creator removed the tag here. —BradV 01:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Withdrawn my vote per assertions of notability by TPH. —BradV 01:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Furthermore, since the article doesn't qualify for a speedy as there is a (somewhat vague) assertion of notability, a deletion discussion at AfD is premature. I change my vote to Speedy keep to give the article creator time to improve it. —BradV 01:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:N and WP:CRYSTAL - his "big album" hasn't even been released yet. Keep I had opposed per WP:CRYSTAL, as his big "claim-to-fame" mentioned in the article is an album not yet released. Perhaps the details Ten Pound Hammer made reference to should be added.

  • Keep He has charted a single on at least two Billboard charts, as verified here. A charting single is, 99.99% of the time, an assertation of notability, and I have no reason to believe otherwise. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep TPH says it nicely. The notability is on the billboard. NonvocalScream (talk) 02:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
