[edit] Fan 3

Fan 3 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Completely non-notable. She's released only 4 songs and doesn't even have a label. Also co-nominating Let Me Clear My Throat (album) (highlight of article: "It was unreleased due to lack of interest."), Geek Love (Oh My Gosh) (her one song that actually was semi-popular), Digits (Fan 3 song) (a song from the soundtrack of Shark Tale, oh so notable), Boom (Fan 3 song) another soundtrack song, Broken_Home another radio single (article even admits lack of notability: "The song was sent to radio in March of 2005, but failed to make any mark."), Shut_Up_Stella (her new band) and ShutUpStella (album) which is just a rumored album, with no details as yet. Delete the lot of them (note: there are various other wikilinks in these articles to other alleged songs by this group but they lead to songs by other artists) Nardman1 23:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Oh and somehow I missed What They Gonna Think and Category:Fan 3 songs during the initial nomination. Nardman1 00:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't even know where to begin, and I apologize for this entry being long, though it is a complicated issue. For starters, both Fan 3 and Shut Up Stella fulfill WP:MUSIC. Instead of getting into the nitty gritty of each section of WP:MUSIC, let me just say this: Fan 3 is signed to Geffen (see both allmusic.com and Geffen's webiste). Shut up Stella is signed to Epic Records (see more info here), and thus both artists are Notable and deserve to be on Wikipedia. Now comes the hard part: much of both Fan 3 and Shut up Stella's articles were written by a known vandal and sockpuppet, who goes by Fan3, Jack tha Ripper, JO Simpson, among a variety of other names. I, Deiz and Agathoclea have been on his track and have been blocking him systematically once he returns and vandalizes some more. Because of this, much of the information on both Fan 3 and Shut up Stella's articles is incorrect. This includes the albums released by both artists (Fan 3 only has one album, Digits, which isn't even mentioned on her main article, for example). And thus, I conclude with this: We should keep both Fan 3 and Shut Up Stella's main pages, but should delete the albums and singles, as they were all (I believe) written by the vandal/sockpuppet, and are probably mostly innacurate. I will make it my personal pet project to massively clean-up, copy-edit and fact-check both Fan 3 and Shut up Stella, and add album pages and singles, etc. accordingly.

  • After writing this, I realized that Shut up Stella doesn't even have its own page. But it should, as it is notable. And, assuming the AfD passes, will create it after the AfD closes. :) Right-o, well, I'm changing the links accordingly. Thanks, Nardman1! :) Rockstar915 04:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Withdraw nomination per Rockstar915. I didn't realize most of the information was incorrect. I'm glad you caught this. Reserving right to relist in say 2 months if no action taken. Nardman1 10:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I found this through a related WP:CFD discussion. I know nothing about the performer in this article aside from what is written in the article itself. However, the article does clearly indicate that this person has produced music that is notable enough that it is included in TV and movie soundtracks. This appears to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. Dr. Submillimeter 09:02, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment even though the nomination has been withdrawn, I do think that there is some merit to deleting both Fan 3 and Shut Up Stella's albums and singles, as many of them are either completely incorrect or don't even exist. Rockstar915 19:56, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
  • When I withdrew the nomination it was per your recommended cleanup plan. If necessary, would you tag for speedy deletion/afd/whatever the necessary articles when this nomination ends? Nardman1 02:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oh, no! Sorry for the confusion. I knew what you meant when you withdrew the nomination. I just put the comment up so that any admins wouldn’t just close all of the AfDs. If they do, though, I’ll def speedy them. :) Rockstar915 03:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
