Intervention (Yolanda song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable artist with little or no media attention, no charting songs. Articles are full of untruths (e.g. artist is not signed to GOOD Music). Artist seems to exist but all records appear to be on a teeny indie (or possibly self-released). Fails WP:MUSIC. Nothing verifiable from reliable sources, either—all info from her website or MySpace page. Does not show up on Billboard.com, minimal entry for one album on Allmusic.com—Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 14:57, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Delete and protect Per nom, the artist isn't notable enough to warrant an article. These articles are a magnet for puppetmaster User:Soccermeko. If we simply delete them, they will be recreated in a matter of days.Kww (talk) 15:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, but don't salt yet I did a search for coverage myself, came up with zippo. However, calling for a salt is premature--wait until it's recreated two more times, then salt it. Blueboy96 16:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  Comment: I understand why you might call it premature, but Soccermeko has proven to be an extremely tenacious puppetmaster. I revert and report multiple times daily, and am in favor of anything that heads him off at the pass. Is there a way to salt with a time limit? If we could, say, salt for 90 days, I'd be happy enough.Kww (talk) 16:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  Now that WP:SALT is WP:PROTECT, any time limit can be used.--Fabrictramp (talk) 16:25, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - Had a quick search and surprised (given the above comments) how easy sources where to find. So meets Wikipedia:MUSIC with multiple sources of secondary information. [1], [2], [3], [4] Yolanda Johnson at Yahoo music etc ChessCreator (talk) 22:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I see someone who has gotten their name around on the internet but nothing that indicates notability per WP:MUSIC. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 22:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete all the albums and singles for failing WP:MUSIC, but Weak Keep the main Yolanda Johnson article. There seems to be enough sources out there for her to pass WP:MUSIC#C7, just.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 01:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Not sure how "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city" applies. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 14:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: Fails WP:MUSIC. Albums are all non-notable by any measure I can see. Yes, some minor coverage from non-reliable sources, but nothing substantial from reliable sources. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 17:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Comment: Oh, yeah, and I favor the salt as well.

• Keep: It doesn't matter who it was who contributed, You think that its aways a sockpuppet on everyt page, and I wish you would shut up about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.129.69.13 (talk) 23:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

• Comment:I had originally deleted this, as a contribution by a blocked user, but decided to leave it intact for the closing admin to see in relation to my request for salting. User:4.129.69.13 is User:Soccermeko again, just as User:4.154.56.1, User:4.129.68.118, User:4.154.5.153, User:Editor126, User:Fan196, and myriad others were. Please, after deleting these articles, salt them, even if only with a time limit, or he will rise again to recreate them.Kww (talk) 02:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
