Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:39, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lack of independent reliable sources, WP:SPA/potential WP:COI concerns, not helped by the fact that the author implies on my talk page that he is the same as one or more of the WP:SPA authors of the two previous speedily deleted versions. Guy (Help!) 17:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I am amazed at how Wikipedia works. Anyway, there may be some confusion about the article I submitted. I am not the author of the two prior deleted articles. I wrote an article today that was flagged for delete. I don't know what the prior articles included, or why they didn't meet inclusion criteria. However, I did include sources and references in the article I submitted today. Susan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adiostexas (talk • contribs) 18:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A little research on Google shows that he was a feature of a Washington Post article. See link. Also, I found this feature in San Fran Weekly link. He was in notable band, and while his books may not be the most notable ever, they certainly don't hurt. This research is much more important to me than any wp:coi speculation or WP:SPA. The refs need to be cleaned up, but the article was just created. Tag rather than afd/csd. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 19:06, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How does this look?Adiostexas (talk) 20:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are at least two reliable sources (especially SF Weekly) COI is a reason to keep an eye on the article, not for deletion. - Mgm|^(talk) 00:01, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
