The result was speedy delete WP:CSD#G12. Anonymous editors have twice replaced the article by text from the link given by AllyD, once in 2011 and once this August, but that masked the fact that the whole article was originally created in 2009 as a copy of an earlier version of the text at the same link (visible at archive.org). —David Eppstein (talk) 23:35, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article certainly needs improvement but I simply found nothing to suggest better than this, this, this and this. This seems to have started at AfC but was moved to mainspace by the SPA author. Pinging past user AllyD. SwisterTwister talk 05:33, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article as it stands is a clear WP:COPYVIO of [1], copyrighted by Music for your Soul LLC. I haven't the time this morning to see whether reversion is possible to a prior version which is clean of those considerations, but it could be that this needs to be a G12 deletion.
