Is this relevant information?[edit]

Is this page about Steve Ouimette, or the song Devil went down to Georgia? In my opinion it´s fine to add a reference to the song and it being in Guitar Hero 3, but I don't feel that this page should include a detailed ´walkthrough´ of the GH3 level. It doesn't really apply to Steve Ouimette himself.OmikronWeapon (talk) 11:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The whole "In the song, there are two solos: The Devil's solo..." shouldn't be in there. Sounds a bit to game guide-ish. With that said, anything mentioning how (being very specific) a song is unlocked isn't really necessary. Everything else is fine as he was the one that did the guitars for the cover version of The Devil Went Down to Georgia. Anything else that is added should be about the person and his work. lightsup55 ( T | C ) 11:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Major overhaul[edit]

TO ALL: I've done a major overhaul on this article. Hope that is a good start (for now). lightsup55 ( T | C ) 11:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

I'm not sure if Steve Ouimette is notable enough to warrant his own article at all. The important information here could easily be moved to the Guitar Hero III article.

hes notable enough your here arent you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.246.62.228 (talk) 20:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He has gained fame due to his works in the recent Guitar Hero video games. He is an accomplished musician and warrants at the very least a stub page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.207.144 (talk) 18:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would totally agree that he is notable enough to at least warrant a stub article. Sure, I know him because of GH3, but I came to this article looking for him, not GH3. Flamingblur (talk) 05:31, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Video games are a major part of today's society. Sure, he came to fame b/c of GH3, but the article should exist as people are looking for more information on the artists within the game. As the unsigned comment said, I came here looking for him, not Guitar Hero information. 99Perfectos (talk) 14:05, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see anything on his website mentioning his collection of baritone and tenor guitars like it says here. Should that be verified before put on the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.182.246.182 (talk) 20:43, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
