Non-notable musician, article refs are imdb, myspace, and soundcloud. No hits in google news archives for him or aliases--there's a "bionic" cat that's more notable. --Nuujinn (talk) 18:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete. Alex Frecon is a very notable person to his fans. While the numbers pale in comparison to other stars, he has accomplished a great deal since the launch of his career and deserves to be featured in Wikipedia. I have also sited sources from conncoll.edu and The Badger Herald at wisconsin.edu, both of which display his talents in writing and journalism. He will be featured in many upcoming press releases that I will add to the reference section as well. Thank you for your time and consideration. He may be a "nameless" character to you; however he is significant to his followers.

Yuko16, what you need to find are reliable sources that establish his notability either in a general sense or according to WP:MUSIC. Contact me here or on my talk page if those criteria are not clear, --Nuujinn (talk) 19:14, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nuujinn, Thank you for the link and criteria. I will review the details and find reliable sources to make my article credible. Not Recommended For Delete Thank you again for taking the time to help me understand how to better establish notability. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yuko16 [[[User talk:Yuko16|talk]] • contribs) 19:20, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Also, please be aware that if this article is deleted, you can request that it be moved to your userspace--not all such requests are honored, but many are, the idea being that you can continue to work on the article there until you feel it is ready for the main article spaces. --Nuujinn (talk) 21:20, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Not Recommended for Delete~~ Notable to me and fan base in Minneapolis and West Hartford. --Yuko16 —Preceding undated comment added 19:32, 12 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Please do not !vote twice. You already stated your opinion above.—Chris!_c/t 20:56, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable clearly when there are no hits in Google news archives. The creator has said so above. This person is only known locally.—Chris!_c/t 20:56, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question, can you provide any examples of google hits demonstrating the subject's notability? --Nuujinn (talk) 20:24, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Answer, Google Search and Alex Frecon Press Release —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.166.40.122 (talk) 15:45, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, press releases, blogs, facebook pages, and the like are not reliable sources, and that's all I'm seeing there. --Nuujinn (talk) 20:17, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
