[edit] Alf Poier

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

Appearing in Eurovision might be a claim to fame, although he apparently bombed, but this article has no independent sources and being a mediocre losing Eurovision act is not really a claim to fame, you'd need to win or score null points to be notable I would have thought.

  • Keep. WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS notwithstanding, it seems that most Eurovision Song Contest finalists have a page, this one isn't horribly done, and Google has enough hits for Alf Poier to satisfy notability in my view. - RPIRED 23:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Keep in mind that Poier almost won the contest on his second try, only losing because of the regional vote tallying system; he received more votes than the winner, but still lost. Arky ¡Hablar Conmigo! 00:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, I believe that would be enough to make him notable then, if he ended up losing just because the voting system was @*#$!ed up. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 00:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep based on notability through mentions by media Corpx 02:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, wikipedia first item on google for this person and would supply people with the information they want.
  • Keep, notable in the sense that he's often mentioned when bizarre Eurovision entries are mentioned. 143.210.182.197 10:43, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep very notable! Needs expanding. Oliver Keenan
