Fine, I wont resubmit it. Besides, it is researched. I got it from the course, over MSN from guy inred/blue shirts. I dont get why you have to be so stingy. An article about "non notable" people doesnt bother anyone. It does nothing. It bothers no one. So why not keep it on? Its not nonsense or poorly constructed or anything. Free edited encylopedia? HAHA
What integrity are you talking about? It doesnt bother anyone. And what is with your 7th grader talk? There are Guy in Red/Blue Shirt on the internet, not random 7th grader Billy O'Toole. It helps because it adds even more information on this site.
Yeah, but you wanna know something totally crazy? This didnt take half an hour to upload everything.So judgin by your criteria, unless theyre in movies along with mel Gibson they shouldnt get an article either because theyre not notable?

This seems to be an arbitrary subdivision of the ancestry group French American. Googling "Breton American" or "Breton Americans" gives no relevant results. The fact that no-one designates him- or herself as a 'Breton American' on the census forms is somewhat indicative of the fact that the group isn't any different from French Americans except in the more particular geography of their original home. Hence, it seems to be no more notable than 'Hampshire American' or 'Sachsen American'. Bastin 10:41, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Previously kept by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amanda Marcotte. Here's my problem with this article: there are several citations in References, but all of them are either to the subject's own site, or to the Catholic League, which hates her opinions on some things. There does not seem to be any independent discussion, and while this article sets out to be a biography, pretty much 100% of the independently verifiable information is about one incident of distinctly questionable significance; it might merit a short sentence in an article on the Edwards campaign, but even that would rapidly become old news and not worth recording. If there are independent non-trivial sources primarily about Marcotte the person, fine, let's cite them and write an article about Marcotte the person, but this is actually an article on a campaign by a Catholic group to get someone fired for having opinions with which they disagree.

The notable thing about that last article is this:
"Despite an emerging national audience, gospel rap has no platinum-selling breakout artist -- and certainly nothing on par with holy rock & rollers Switchfoot or P.O.D. (Payable On Death). But this might change soon. Artists such as Grits have sold hundreds of thousands of albums under the auspices of Nashville-based Gotee records. Another top label, New Jersey's Cross Movement Records, includes local artist Flame on its roster. Flame has moved some 30,000 albums, tours as far away as Alaska and has one of his songs blasting on Busch Stadium's loudspeakers each time Albert Pujols comes to bat."
Three things this says... First, it's an apples to oranges comparison to compare his record says to that of say, Jay Z. He's a big fish in a not quite so big pond. But, he qualifies for notability for his national touring of the Notability guidelines:
4. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,3 reported in reliable sources.
Also, A St. Louis newspaper is reporting that in their hometown stadium, Busch Stadium, a hometown player Albert Pujols plays his music over the stadium speakers every time he comes to bat. (Albert Pujols isn't some unknown player, his 2007 salary is over $12 million. From Wikipedia: Since his debut in 2001 through the 2006 season he leads the major leagues in RBI, runs, total bases and extra base hits, and is second in home runs and batting average. In other words, he's a star, so people are listening when he comes to bat.) So, there's also national airtime every time a game is on the radio or television, Flame's song is heard.
7. Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
Was notable enough that a newspaper commented on it.
10. Has performed music for a work of media that is notable
Some players (like wrestlers) are often known by their fans by their "theme song", and this is such a song by a top player of MLB.
But, notice, I'm not counting the article itself as being at the level of being notable. Under Wikipedia standards, it is not. However, it provides many facts that do rise to the level of notability. In total:
1. GMA Dove Awards nominee placing him in the top 5 of his genre. 2. Reported by a reliable source to tour nationally. 3. Is played several times per game to a stadium, radio, television audience of MLB. 4. For the genre of Christian Rap, he's a major representative, as recognized by the media and the GMA Dove association (the closest thing to an expert opinion on the matter). 5. Belongs to a label recognized as a "top label" for the genre (not up to Wikipedia standards for Indie Label notability, but in this genre, there aren't any "top labels" as defined by Wikipedia).
Now, honestly, I've never heard of the guy, nor listened to him. I followed the link here from Sabellianism where I was researching recently added info about his references to dynamic monarchianism (a part of Christian theology). And while the information added indicates that I would disagree on major points theologically with Mr. Gray, my research none the less shows that he is certainly notable in the Christian & Gospel music world.
I would also like to add a point of disagreement with the statement: "Being nominated for an award does not make an artist notable, they must actually with the award first." (S.I.C.)
Well, it certainly adds significantly to their notability. Those that have only been nominated (and never won) certainly display their "mere" nomination as an accomplishment by itself, because it is, be it an Oscar, a Grammy, or a Dove. Not winning doesn't make them "unnotable", and it certainly adds to their notability.
From the above data, I would not consider this page to be a vanity page for some random garage band. Further, if this page is removed, one might as well remove all Christian Rap artists because none have gone gold, and very few could top this artist. And, in that same train of thought, one would remove all artists of non-mainstream genres.
Don't know if I'd listen to him, and all these facts need to be added to this page in a nice format, but... Strong Keep -- DeWayne Lehman (talk • contribs) @ 06:26, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Here are the reasons for deletion
Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following:
* Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising related subject) * Content not suitable for an encyclopedia * Copyright infringement * Hoax articles (but not articles describing a notable hoax) * Images that are unused, obsolete, violate fair-use policy, or are unencyclopedic * Inappropriate user pages * Inflammatory redirects * Article information that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources * All attempts to find reliable sources to which article information can be verified have failed * Newly-coined neologisms * Overcategorization * Patent nonsense or gibberish * Redundant templates * Subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth) * Vandalism that is not correctible
None of them apply. A club that has been in service more than 50 years, established scholarship programs, people to people programs to foster international understanding, active in the fight to stop polio.

Keep Thank you for the reference. Here is what WP:ORG says [edit] Primary criterion See also: Wikipedia:Notability#The primary notability criterion A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, independent of the subject and independent of each other. The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. Once notability is established, primary sources may be used to add content. Ultimately, and most importantly, all content must be attributable.
The "secondary sources" in the criterion include reliable published works in all forms, such as (for examples) newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations1 except for the following:
Press releases; autobiographies; advertising for the company, corporation, organization, or group; and other works where the company, corporation, organization, or group talks about itself — whether published by the company, corporation, organization, or group itself, or re-printed by other people.2 Self-published material or published at the direction of the subject of the article would be a primary source and falls under a different policy. Works carrying merely trivial coverage; such as (for examples) newspaper articles that simply report meeting times or extended shopping hours, or the publications of telephone numbers, addresses, and directions in business directories.
Secondary sources cited, more to come. Tedkirchharr 13:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article cites a few loacl newspaper stories of the time. But when it comes to online sources, there are just three: Wikipedia, Frank Zappa fan-chat, and comments about a porn film allegedly inspired by this. There isn't even a Snopes story that I can find.

Well, it claims he has two albums, and if they're on a real label that would satisfy WP:MUSIC. The article creator maintains that he's a noted entertainer in the Filipino Chinese community. On the other hand: no verification, and neither Amazon nor allmusic.com have heard of him (but this could be because he's Filipino, this would also affect his Google presence.) Of the three reference sites given, one is maxed out on bandwidth, one has "Max is both a host and singer in corporate/private events", and the third has him as "Max Tiu (Emcee, Singer, Sound System)".
