Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Titbag Spears

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was delete. The anonymous and unsigned votes were discounted during the discussion. Unsigned claims of notability through personal experience carry little weight when they come from anonymous or extremely new users. We have had too much trouble with sockpuppets attempting to bias the decision-making process. Rossami (talk) 22:55, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Titbag Spears

I am having trouble verifying the existence of this musician. I get 23 google hits, but all of the are to internet forums. Also, i found no allmusic entry. Sjakkalle 12:47, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:MUSIC. Meelar (talk) 13:36, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, what Meelar said, insufficient evidence of any notability. -- Infrogmation 14:25, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Sure seems like an artgag. Not notable enough as a prankster/prank to qualify for an encyclopedia at this point. Geogre 15:08, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn/prank. The name seems like an obvious goof on Britney. --Etacar11 00:24, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete 8 hits on google, all of them link to the profile of a member of some obscure forum. R Lee E 01:34, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The name makes it blatantly obvious that this should be deleted for several reasons. --Chanting Fox 01:35, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Increasingly prominent figure on the Hoxton/Shoreditch art scene, very pretentious, but relatively significant all the same. He uses a variety of psudonyms, often just variations on 'Titbag Spears', presumably as some form of Punk statement. His style is clearly indebted to 80's performance poets like Seething Wells and Attilla The Stockbroker. HipsterKing 03:39, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Not everything can be found so easily on the Internet, particularly not such non-mainstream performers as Titbag Spears. This is what Wikipedia is for. He doesn't stand for such ignorance as that evidenced above, either.
• Delete. Does not meet Wikipedia criteria for notability, or something like that. -- BD2412 ^talk 05:14, 2005 Jun 2 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. JamesBurns 11:09, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• 'Keep Was mentioned in The Guardian's G2 supplement recently. 06:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Above vote was the fifth contribution by anon 217.205.242.19. -- BD2412 ^talk 14:23, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
• WP:MUSIC. Does the artist Titbag Spears meet any of the requirements? If so, keep. R Lee E 06:41, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I have witnessed Titbag Spears on tour. Been to a few dates across the country and will be going again at the next opportunity. Hopefully I'll get his autograph and touch his garments next time round
