I think it should be kept. People search "Obama Girl", not Leah Kauffman to find information on this video. I agree with Spacini.
keep it's currently as relevant as things like Chuck Norris Facts or JibJab
- I would like to see Wikipedia keep it, although my husband says "It's just a YouTube thing, and I wouldn't keep it." He also asked me to emphasize that he is a political science major.
- It hasn't only been featured on YouTube, but other video sites like MySpace as well as major news channels including CNN, MSNBC, etc..
This page should definitely be deleted. Definitely not something that belongs in an encyclopedia. It's just lousy advertising for Obama.
I disagree. Many other internet videos (like the Back Dorm Boys) have their own entries. Obama Girl ain't high art, she is notable. Nickbii 14:42, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
The article should stay. This video has been seen by millions and is getting attention from mainstream news outlets. It could very easily become part of U.S. political campaign history. Remember that video of Dukakis riding around in a tank? --Spacini 19:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps the article should be moved into the bigger one on Obama, or the article should be renamed for Model or the singer (ms Leah Kauffman), if renamed for the singer then My Box in a Box can be amalgamated into it as well since it is her work. DrQuak 19 June 2007
- Moving it into the bigger article on Obama doens't make any sense, because this video was in no way connected to Obama's campaign. However, I agree that there can be a case made that maybe a Leah Kauffman page could be created, with info on My Box in a Box and Obama Girl. Bjewiki 18:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Question
On the Infobox's that I put on the article, it was edited to say "July 22" under both the recorded sections. I'm a little confused as to what the Infobox means by "Recorded." I personally thought that it meant when the song was recorded, but the date says "July 22", which is after both singles were released. Does it mean when the articles were recorded into the article, as in written in?CoolKid1993 02:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's supposed to be the date the recording was done, if known (such as for Beatles songs). July 22 is obviously wrong. Wasted Time R 02:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
