Entirely non-notable artist, with no press about them anywhere, no notable songs written by them or recorded by them, with page created by the artist themself. Does no pass WP:Notability or WP:Notability (music) under any category. --MyGrassIsBlue (talk) 07:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This, while written by the artist, is encyclopedic and I think he warrants an article. It's well written, but could be improved. I say keep. Carter | Talk to me 10:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Self-promotion, autobiography, and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopedia article. The published works should be someone else writing independently about the topic. Definitely doesn't pass WP:Notability (music) either - not in the musician category, or the composers/lyrics category. --MyGrassIsBlue (talk) 10:52, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- One can't always wait for others to write an article about themselves. I just disagree with it being a problem that the artist wrote the article. We'll see how it pans out. Carter | Talk to me 11:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As mentioned, it doesn't pass any of the other guidelines either. Not a hit songwriter, no newspaper or magazine articles about the artist, no competition win, no Grammy award, no charting song, not listed as a major influence for another notable artist, etc. --MyGrassIsBlue (talk) 11:05, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete although autobiography isn't really a reason for deletion he does seem to fail the notability and verifiability requirements. Jasynnash2 (talk) 11:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete: I've heard the name somewhere, but he certainly doesn't see mo pass WP:N...... Dendodge .. TalkHelp 11:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete without prejudice - if someone independent of the source would like to write a neutral and well-sourced article, ok, this topic probably meets our notability requirements. But an unsourced autobiography is not a great idea. --B (talk) 14:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- G12 as copyvio of this (except for the track listing, which isn't worth saving). So tagged. (By the way, this does not seem to be the same Justin Weaver who's a member of Highway 101.) Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
