[edit] White Dawg

Suggestion deletion because the article violates Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and fails WP:BIO as a one-hit wonder with no lasting notability. It also appears that the author of this article is simultaneously trying to vandalize it, I gathered from the talk page that this person has registered numerous accounts for mixed purposes of self-promotion and vandalism. Case in point, I just removed an inappropriate link to PENIS SHEATHS that went unnoticed for over 6 months. Put this one out of its misery already. Burntsauce 22:27, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: Meets WP:MUSIC by having a charted single. DCEdwards1966 02:31, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Ditto with DCEdwards, also please note that people's personal opinions whether they like a certain performer or not is not a valid reason for article deletion. Besides, we've got protection policies to block this page from vandals and sock puppetry. --Andrewlp1991 05:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:MUSIC. The one hit managed to peak in the top 20. Not to break OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but we do have articles on other one-hit wonders with questionable lasting notability. Deleting for the sake of controlling vandalism isn't a feasible alternative. Not that it needs it, but I'll be adding a Tufts University feature story on him to the refs.--Sethacus 15:40, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. The subject passes WP:MUSIC with a charted single, like it or not. RFerreira 19:31, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
