[edit] Tango (rapper)
"Tango" is not notable enough on his own to warrant his own wikipage. There also is not a single cited source to back up any of the claims stated. Until this person does something more notable than winning a single reality show contest, this article should be deleted. Gamer83 17:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Note that this rapper did not win a musical contest reality show -- his win was on a dating reality show. --Metropolitan90 18:01, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep notable most certainly. BigCoop 06:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per above, if not Speedy Delete --Nonstopdrivel 20:46, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- weak delete Doesn't qualify for speedy, I tried that already. But yeah, non-major label, and not winning a music show fails WP:MUSIC. But... winning the reality show may qualify him for inclusion, but it's borderline. Kwsn(Ni!) 21:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, while holding nose - winning a reality show has been found to establish notability. I have no objection to this becoming a test case for challenging that but as it stands, reality winner=notable. Otto4711 21:43, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per User:Otto4711; he was a winner on the show, and therefore is (sadly) notable. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 21:57, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Gratuitous Blatant POV Comment: The world will be a better place by at least an order of magnitude when the reality-TV fad finally dies its well-deserved death. I'm just afraid I won't live to see that day. --Nonstopdrivel 22:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Delete. Although Tango is (barely) notable as the winner of the first season of I Love New York, not notable per WP:MUSIC, given the reference to rapper in the article title. In the latter case, the "rapper" reference is clearly promotional for his music career based on his appearance on a TV reality show. →Lwalt ♦ talk 03:06, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

- Weak delete. Notable for winning the show, but not as a musician. If kept, the article should be rewritten as an article about the winner of a game show, with the fact that he's a rapper, if verifiable, thrown in with the background information. - Zeibura (Talk) 22:46, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
