Rade[edit]

A vanity page which the subject helpfully signed for us. No evidence that xe meets the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music/Notability_and_Music_Guidelines, of course. Uncle G 01:58, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)

  • Keep actually, due to his association with Sens Unik, he meets a lot of those guidelines, at least the first seven. Admit this is a clumsy attempt at an article, but he's a fairly notable ex-member of a VERY notable group! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:19, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Starblind is right; Sens Unik even have a fairly detailed article already, and it does mention Rade. Google also confirms. Cleanup, but keep. Bearcat 06:38, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, if he wrote that article, evidenced by the signoff, then its vanity. Wikipedia frowns on autobiographies. Outside of Sens Unik, he hasn't done anything notable. Megan1967 07:51, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I have rewritten the article adding information about his career and taken off the signature. However, in doing so, I have discovered that our article on Sens Unik is an almost direct copy of this article. 1. I will report it as a copyright violation now.

    • Not copyvio as that article is credited to Wikipedia and GNU license at the bottom of the web page :) Fuzz 13:13, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. Could be vanity, but the rewrite is good. JimmyShelter 09:21, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep due to rewrite, though I'm not sure we are all looking forward to the solo album he will record in 1995 Fuzz 13:13, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Wellspotted Fuzz. have corrected the typo. Capitalistroadster 14:56, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I'm likewise suspicious of the "started off in 1998" date. Evidence and references supplied. However, I'd still like to see things like, say, the man's actual name (compare Scooter). Moreover, the Sens Unik discography belongs in Sens Unik (and is already there). Rade should tell us "Rade appears on Sens Unik's albums X, Y, and Z.", and only go into details of release dates and hit songs if they are relevant to Rade specifically (such as if he wrote them, for example). Keep and send to Cleanup for removal of duplicated information. Uncle G 17:33, 2005 Feb 8 (UTC)
  • Keep. Capitalistroadster's attentions should be an official reason to pull articles off vfd. :) Samaritan 15:14, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Sens Unik. As usual Cr's rewrite is a great improvement, but in this case I don't think there is a need to have the same information twice, unless there is some notabile information about this musician which doesn't make sense to mention in the article about the group, such as a released solo album. --BM 15:40, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep it. Wyss 20:18, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep in tact with corrections by Capitalistroadster. Do not redirect. —RaD Man (talk) 21:39, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
