An article about this subject was recently deleted through AfD and subsequently replaced with a redirect to a song. Now a couple of editors claim that they have created a new article, and that this fact invalidates the previous AfD. Since the premise for the original deletion doesn't seem to have changed, I renominate. Favonian ( talk) 19:43, 24 August 2010 (UTC) reply

I'm not saying y'all are racist, I'm just saying, y'all sure as shootin' might be racist in assuming he's going to continue to be a non-entity 'cause he's a poor black dude. This will get referenced on Family Guy or dude will publish a book or otherwise become noteworthy, and it'll all be gravy. Besides which, the dude's interview *and* the song are famous; it'd be like if Bubb Rubb had a single that blew up. And frankly, isn't Rodney King only famous for 1E (one event)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.76.74.28 ( talk) 21:18, 30 August 2010 (UTC) replyImagine a young man. His home is invaded by a rapist. His sister screams; he goes to her defense. The man escapes. The local news interviews him; the man is outraged. The video of his comments is viewed millions of times. Days later, a group of internet comedians remix his passionate words into a song. This song goes on iTunes; it charts higher than Lady GaGa. The man is listed as the co-author of the song and gets half the proceeds. The song cracks the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. The man receives a ton of media coverage, and is interviewed on the Today Show. Wikipedia wants to delete his entry. Now imagine he's white.
