- Clean Sadness (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Delete for lack of notability. Google search results in 34 pages, one of them a Wikipedia mirror and the rest irrelevant. Contested prod. ... discospinster talk 03:38, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Not everything is on the internet. This article is in accordance with two of the criteria laid out in the WP:MUSIC guidelines:
"7. Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city ... "9. Has won or placed in a major music competition." FeverDrum (talk) 03:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Which style is he representative of? Which competition has he placed in? ... discospinster talk 04:02, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Sorry, fails MUSIC guidelines. FeverDrum, if you can verify those claims (above) with third-party, reliable sources, then I'll consider changing my !vote. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It's this new genre, SPEW. It's become a bit of a weird movement here in these areas of Ontario (Ottawa and Sudbury at least). Underground thing, very strange stuff, but a lot of people know about it, talk about it, and there for a lot of people would like to know more. This is a good way of finding out. -Alsamisath (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC) —Alsamisath (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.[reply]

- Keep SPEW is rapidly gaining popularity in Southern Ontario, this is one of the few relevant articles. - Eenocks (talk) 18:10, 26 November 2007 (UTC) —Eenocks (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.[reply]
- Keep Just because an artist makes records on an independent label, why should that mean according to wikipedia that they don't exist? Clean Sadness is a great SPEW artist and someone should make an article on the SPEW genre as, to, my surprise, apparently many people outside The United States aren't aware of. Definitely keep it. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr timebomb (talk • contribs) 23:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC) — Dr timebomb (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.[reply]
- Comment. Please note that WP has a vast amount of articles on artists on independent labels. They are all also able to be backed up with sources. tomasz. 17:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Clean Sadness is definitely an artist many people want to find out more about, and even if there are only two sources, I don't think this is grounds to delete this page. - Chazzout!

- Delete fails WP:V, WP:MUSIC unless reliable 3rd party sources are cited. dissolvetalk 20:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:V, WP:MUSIC, WP:RS. I don't think a guy who's had less than 100 listens on his Myspace page qualifies as a wildly popular and notable cult artist. Bearcat (talk) 03:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Bearcat. GJ (talk) 03:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Not notable. None of the claims in support of notability have been supported with reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a promotional vehicle for local musicians. --Skeezix1000 18:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Bearcat. nn artist. Resolute 16:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. "Spew" music is an unpopular neologism. There's nothing whatsoever new in the idea of spoken word over rock/electronic backing. This is a non-notable artist. tomasz. 17:11, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
