Found this profile in Modern Drummer but nothing else pointing to notability, and I'm not even clear on who wrote that profile (the text block along the bottom of the page implies this is just promo the magazine gives to anyone who mails in asking for it rather than anything sign of relevance) so it might fail as a reliable source anyway. May also be a COI issue given the page creator's username.QuietHere (talk | contributions) 08:50, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is some odd ancient history here. The user Dante Roberson appeared on WP for just one single day: April 1, 2006, during which he created this article in a single edit, meaning that he probably copy/pasted the text from his own promo sites elsewhere. A few minutes later, a different user tied his article to the surname article Roberson, leading to this discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roberson, which in turn resulted in no consensus and allowed this Dante Roberson article to survive. It has been sitting here ever since, and with no significant updates to anything that he has done since 2006. It could/should have been deleted at any time during this history. Roberson clearly is/was a trusty studio hand and go-to drummer for musicians in need of assistance and he has a lot of credits, but he has not achieved any reliable media coverage of his career in his own right. This is the state of affairs both in 2006 and in 2023. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 00:00, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previously had an AFD a few minutes after creation so not eligible for a Soft Deletion.

Delete Googling the name gives startling results- about fifth or sixth hit was an article on knife crime published by the Bristol Cable and all but one of the previous hits were unrelated. There are hits, but none of sufficient quality to establish notability.TheLongTone (talk) 10:48, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
