Vinnie Caruana[edit]

does not assert WP:N and neither do band articles. aliasd·U·T 16:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those links are blog links. aliasd·U·T 16:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but they're well established, dedicated music blogs, not just random fan blogs. There is also coverage on MTV (as mentioned in the I Am The Avalanche article). Keep. --Darksun 16:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to I Am the Avalanche. Precious Roy 07:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Because Caruana is the founding member of two notable bands (The Movielife and I Am the Avalanche), it does not make sense to redirect, and the fact that he has created two notable bands should be enough to establish notability such as to warrant his own article.

- The entire contents of that article boils down to: his birth information, that he was in The Movielife and I Am the Avalance, that his cousin is in a non-notable band, he "appears" (sings? plays guitar? it doesn't say) on a Bayside song, his current band is a member of a non-notable "group of bands and artists", and that he has "many tattoos". Not to mention the fact that the single reference only verifies that he was in those two bands and nothing else from the article. Nothing that can't be merged into both the Movielife and I Am the Avalanche articles. Precious Roy 09:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional Keep I feel that he qualifies for notability under WP:MUSIC. However, his article as it stands is unsuitable. The article lacks references from multiple, independent sources. If the article is cleaned up, expanded and properly sourced, I don't see any reason why it should be deleted. Trusilver 00:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
