Notability

I've left some comments on the final admin's talk page who closed this article. I warned him that Tay Zonday would be gaining media attention (more so than he has) and IS notable for Wikipedia. Yet, his entry remains protected. Some notible major media that have mentioned him are:

Opie and Anthony
VH1
Jimmy Kimmel Live (Tonight, August 8th, 2007: 12:05am EST)

There are solo SEVERAL articles written about him on the internet if you just google him.

Jaranda is not responding. Any other Wikipedia Admins able to step in?

He was just on Jimmy Kimmel. Imagine the number of people that came to Wikipedia that came to check up on him and found nothing but a snobbishly locked page. What an absolute joke. Wikipedia should be ashamed. 65.30.42.124 15:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
He has 4 million view on ONE of his songs, hundreds of thousands more on others, he's been on Opie and Anthony and now Kimmel, yet now page for Tay Zonday. thats ridiculous. --194.125.99.216 16:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly, a couple admins were completely wrong. What that means, I don' know. --Mystalic 18:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

Can't we find a better source than youtube for the fact that Zonday has appeared on the Opie & Anthony Show and Best Week Ever? Youtube is generally not considerd a reliable sourcew for anything except the fact that a particular video has in fact appeared on youtube, because anyone can upload, and many youtube videos are digitally altered.

That sources the Jimmy Kimmel appearence, adn is alredy used for that in the article. But it doesn't mention the Opie & Anthony Show or Best Week Ever. DES (talk) 14:38, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Picture?

I think there should have been a more appropriate picture in the article, seeing as he looks intoxicated in the picture. I think it is quite funny, but the article might only get more views for the picture.

IMSA Alumnus

Zonday appears in IMSA's "Community Directory" (http://www.imsa.edu/directory/communityDirectory.php).

Stage Name

Why does this article refer to him as Tay Zonday? It's his stage name, not his real name.
