Indiana Gregg[edit]

Looks like self-promotion of a non-established artist. Almost an A7 - but let's see what others think. -Doc^g 18:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gr8pop ltd, the label who has licensed Indiana Gregg's material asked for the page to be deleted. We were not involved in the postings of biographical information on the Wikipedia site, nor was the artist. It was brought to our attention that the page was being tampered with from an IP address in Sulzbach/Ts., Germany. Gr8pop has asked that this page be removed and has taken appropriate action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.57.43 (talk • contribs) 00:35, 30 November 2006
Keep, not "almost an A7", as mention of touring is an assertion of notability. She meets criterion #3 of WP:MUSIC because she has toured the United Kingdom. —EdGl 20:17, 25 November 2006 (UTC) Edit: Change to weak keep due to the fact that she hasn't released any albums to date. —EdGl 20:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did say almost. It isn't an A7. But 'touring' covers a multitude of sins (it could mean busking with a bike), that's why I sent it here.--Doc^g 20:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, must've read it wrong. I assumed she had a couple albums out or something, but since touring is the only notability criteria she passes, I changed my vote to weak keep. I could go either way really. —EdGl 20:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Ed. The hagiography needs trimming, but meets WP:MUSIC. Chubbles 20:30, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin. The article now reads she has been touring the Northern UK (Bars, Coffee Shops) and trying to release her first CD. There is no evidence that it has ever been more that that. Think about it!--Doc^g 20:07, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Aww, come on... she has over 14,000 MySpace friends though; that's saying something! Just kidding. Doc's arguments are pretty convincing, and that combined with my deletionist tendencies have swayed me from my keep vote. I'm neutral for now. —EdGl 20:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Indiana Gregg was an Indie artist on our site Artistopia.com for a good while and recently asked for her indie profile to be closed as it conflicted with her management, pending new material to be released. She has moved far beyond "undiscovered talent". Thus for us, it moves her into Pro account status. Yippee 20:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There are no reliable sources--in fact, half the article is copied verbatim from a message board post and the rest of it looks like it might be copied from Myspace or somewhere. In fact, with the links scattered throughout it looks like an advertisement. The article was started more than a year by an IP stating "Does anyone know anything about Indiana Gregg" and now it has reached its ultimate evolution of a copy-paste unwikified vanity piece. —Centrx→talk • 19:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
