Twice speedy deleted for lack of asserted notablity. Dubiously seems to assert future notability based on a hazily defined upcoming project. bd2412 T 21:24, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. —Tom Morris (talk) 22:13, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This article does not meet criteria for inclusion per WP:NOTABILITY or WP:BAND. OSU1980 22:56, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dillon is already a noteworthy artist, songwriter and producer. His credits include working with platinum selling artists such as The Veronica's and platinum selling producers such as Toby Gad. Additionally Dillon's own band, of Verona, are signed to Hype/Sony with the release of their new full length coming out this Spring. Clearly a notable talent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arider88 (talk • contribs) 00:28, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. The artist may be a notable talent, but has not reached the notability thresholds described in WP:NOTABILITY and WP:BAND. May be notable in the future, but not now, and Wikipedia shouldn't include articles of potentially notable topics. The purpose of this article appears to be promotional, especially the last sentence "you'll definitely dig of Verona" suggests that the author has a conflict of interest, and indicates that the article qualifies for yet a third speedy deletion, under WP:CSD#G11. ~Amatulić (talk) 01:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Subject doesn't meet WP:NMUSIC and there's no evidence that WP:GNG are met either. I don't think this is a G11 case as the promotional line is allegedly an MTV quote. Of course, there's no proof whatsoever that MTV actually said that, so... ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 03:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources for this person; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO at this time. Gongshow ^Talk 04:57, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Appears article may have qualified for a speedy delete under WP:CSD#G11. SaveATreeEatAVegan 05:08, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I am aware of that. However, since the article has been repeatedly recreated, it is useful to have a determination of community consensus on that point to support salting of the page if it continues to be re-created with this level of sourcing. Cheers! bd2412 T 12:14, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
  - Agreed. But hopefully the creator will observe from this discussion that the wider Wikipedia community is opposed to articles lacking reliable sources to prove notability and realise that the previous speedy deletions weren't just the actions of rouge admin.
