The author has repeatedly reverted any attempt to (reasonably or otherwise) remove the article, or even clean it up. They just got rid of the {{cleanup}} without a single change. No official policy on monikers I suppose. At best, non-encyclopedic, but I'll leave this one to the rest of you.-Splash 02:48, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

• No vote yet - Pleasurehorse gets 6,980 Google hits (about half of which seem to refer to [www.pleasurehorse.com], which is, in fact, about owning horses for pleasure. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:23, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC)

Some other random observations:

734 hits for Pleasurehorse AND god.

1,460 hits for Pleasurehorse AND bomb.

4 hits for Pleasurehorse AND chewbacca.

• Delete I put in a cleanup tag because it's badly edited. Someone reverted this and so I vote delete because I don't like articles where everyone reverts my changes. Muijzo 03:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 06:59, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete A google search for Pleasurehorse +"Shawn Greenlee" turns up just 25 Google hits. Bad behaviour described above doesn't do much to help its case, either. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:54, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Possibly add link to pleasurehorse.com as external from Horse only valid use on Wikipedia for it - certainly not worthy of its own entry. --KillerChihuahua 14:14, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• There is a policy on monikers. The Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names) tell us that a biography of the composer Shawn Greenlee should be at Shawn Greenlee, since (as research reveals) that's what people actually refer to him as. There is evidence scattered here and there that this person might meet the WP:MUSIC criteria, although I don't know enough about the labels to determine whether they meet the album-release criterion.

• Delete: He's merely a musician, not necessarily a signed, recorded, or distributed one. The website is out because of Not a Web Guide. The links in the article also look highly suspect to me. Geogre 15:13, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment if deleted, does the past edit history merit protection for the article name? Vegaswikian 07:06, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Allmusic.com shows that Pleasurehorse have released one record Bareskinrug on an independent label Load. [1]. It hasn't charted. The evidence produced by Uncle G shows that he has released other records. I would vote Keep given that he appears to be active. Capitalistroadster 23:13, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete shows no evidence of being considered for wikipedia as in WP:MUSIC. And I am not even sure that this is really a music related article... Could change my vote if a good expansion shows me wrong.--Poli 03:30, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
