so this girl was in my hs grad class, I only noticed it cause she is not listed under famous hs alum and I had no idea she 'made it'.

nobody has heard of this meme, right? sorta impressive that she'd cite 48 sources.

she is now*

That's news to me, but tbh there are plenty of meme-ish link which show up on my facebook page that I completely ignore.

Pretty clear she wrote this all herself, though.

if whiney has heard of this meme I am willing to consider it a meme

nobody has heard of this meme, right?

lol you do not know any singers I guess, because that went around to all of my friends several times starting in 2009, culminating in several of them seeing her perform live with various Broadway casts like Billy Elliot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go5KhjI8_v0

like, every classical/theater singer in the Boston area has likely seen this about a bazillion times

omg I had not seen her "California Gurls"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW-Qy3ZXn8g&feature=related

idg how the joke would be funny for longer than 10 seconds

still I am impressed that someone I (vaguely) knew irl is attempting a meme-based career

idg how the joke would be funny for longer than 10 seconds

congratulations, you have just described a successful meme

yeah but why are your friends paying money to see her live

Why are teenaged girls and middle-aged men paying money to see Justin Bieber live?

cause he's hot

I am willing to accept that this meme was not meant for my demographic

anyway I mostly just admire the 48 citations

it was made by this user:

In the summer of 2010, Duck Sauce released a track "Barbra Streisand", named after the singer of the same name.

shhh

Article ranges from untrue to unverifiable. Supposedly a musician. Also supposedly "more notorious as an Internet phenomenon than as a musician". Let's put it this way, a mere 932 Google hits, inflated by Wikipedia mirrors and postings on a message board that is itself barely notable at best (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Love Music), does not qualify as an Internet phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination.

new board description imo

oh that is a hilarious page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/I_Love_Music

Delete - content is non-notable, verging on the nonsensical. --Whouk (talk) 18:55, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

I have a relative who clearly did this. She had a relatively impressive career in a couple of different areas but at most might be worthy of a stub-sized entry for one of them, and instead wrote this super long bio detailing everything she's ever done and exaggerating minor accomplishments.

Its content was recently replaced with an unrelated article about trees, which was then vandalized Bill 18:00, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment this vote for keep is from the same ip address that replaced the article with one about pine trees. Must not think its too important.Bill 22:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep or Delete, it's up to you, but if you're going to keep, then for god's sake get some better content than that in - none of the names cited are "much-loved internet personalities" they are music writers, apart from the last-named, who is a homophobic nuisance poster on the board (who is also probably responsible for putting the article up in the first place).

Excuse me, but I am that "homophobic nuisance poster". I didn't put up the article in the first place (it was Tuomas, don't you know) and I am an internet personality. Just the other day, someone walked up to me and said "I KNOW YOU FROM THE INTERNET. TO BE SPECIFIC, I LOVE MUSIC!" -- Love, Esteban Buttez

I'm sure the folks at Wikipdeia are fascinated by this, "Esteban".

Whatever that means. Also, I hope you know that I have several gay and lesbian friends. One of them works at Officeworks, and he gets me discounts there now and again. He's such a nice guy. -- Cheers Bigears! Love, Esteban Buttez!

Keep. The content of the article could be improved, but ILM/ILX is of cultural significance.
Delete. As per the above exchange, any entry about "I Love Music" is likely to be persistently changed back and forth for "humorous" purposes by board trolls, such as "Esteban", above. I'm a long-term regular poster on "I Love Music", it's a fun place, but to be honest I really have my doubts about its "cultural significance", despite its appearing in newspapers, and some of the other regulars being published authors etc.

Not exactly the same, but I can guarantee you that Mitt Romney's Wikipedia article was written by one of his staffers.

e.g.:

"Although the campus was becoming radicalized with the beginnings of 1960s social and political movements, Romney kept a well-groomed appearance and enjoyed traditional campus events.[15]"

"In any case, maximizing the value of acquired companies and the return to Bain's investors, not job creation, was the firm's fundamental goal, as it was for most private equity operations.[61][69]"

"While there have been many biographical parallels between the lives of George Romney and his son Mitt,[nb 23] one particular difference is that while George was willing to defy political trends, Mitt has been much more willing to adapt to them.[13][20] "

"Throughout his business, Olympics, and political career, Romney's instinct has been to apply the "Bain way" towards problems.[173][293][312]"

Keepin' a little BYU spirit on other campuses.

Jonathan Edwards, folk musician

Edwards toured as the lead in the Broadway musical Pumpboys and Dinettes when he met an old friend from the folk circuit, Wendy Waldman, in Nashville. She and Mike Robertson convinced Edwards to come to town and record a country album. "I've been making country-sounding records all my life, but never in Nashville. Yeah, let's do it." Edwards said. So, Natural Thing was produced, recorded, and released on MCA/Curb Records in 1989. "I was crazy about the songs we selected from those great Nashville writers, and the acoustic-based production that Wendy and I put together was just a joy to make and to listen to. I count that as one of the best albums I've ever been involved with."[citation needed]

who did he allegedly "say" this to?

my brother once suggested to me that we create and maintain wikipedia entries about each other, and i looked at him like he'd just said "hey let's cut our thumbs off and drink sewage."

What, out of your thumb holes?

Brandyn "H*Wood" Bordeaux (born March 6, 1988)[1] is an American born mash-up recording artist. H*Wood is a proud Denver, Colorado musician whose music reflects his elecletic upbringing ranging between electronic, pop, dance and dub-step all while effortlessly rapping the lyrics; the style is considered to be innovative considering electronic and dub-step are generally genres known for its music production rather than its lyrics.

Pages get removed for lacking notability all the time though.

I got the SexArt page changed to a mere redirect to Korn's page

Easy to get a page up, not always easy to keep up

exactly, the wikipedia monks are ferocious and seem to delight in removing things

Preston Sturges's son is very confident in himself, I'm guessing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_and_Deane

The duo performs as caricatures of themselves and consists of Jonathan Frank (lead vocals, guitar, and all other instruments) and Josh Deane (lead vocals, guitar, and all other instruments), and it's been said that it's never quite clear where reality ends and fiction begins. Their music, which Colorado Parent described as "reminiscent of the Beach Boys" is a unique blend of rock, pop, acoustic guitars, tight harmonies, and catchy melodies. Often compared to Pixar because of their content, quality, and presentation, FRANK & DEANE's various works (music, art, videos, shows, and more) are intended to be "enjoyed by a broad audience of every generation of kids, parents, and grandparents." They have devoted fans of all ages.

After selling out a final UK tour, they decided to part ways at the peak of their popularity under a shroud of mystery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyphen_Hyphen

Hyphen Hyphen is a French electropop band from Nice. Santa sings in English with Line and Adam. Their albums — Times, HH, and C'est La Vie — hyphenate Europe and North America in international tour."

I already thought "sings in English with Line and Adam" was weird, but "their albums hyphenate europe," really now.
