[edit] Speedy deletion?

This is ridiculous. The importance of the subject was asserted twice in the article - Dana Dane's first album was certified gold, and several of his songs hit the R&B charts. Under Wikipedia:Notability (music):

A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ etc) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
  • Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country.[1]
  • Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one large or medium-sized country.

I quite agree. I have removed the csd tag because this person has a gold record. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 03:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
