Mark Foster (music critic)[edit]

Non-notable music critic. The article does not meet WP:BIO and WP:V standards. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:39, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, at least for now. If he died in 2001, and the article doesn't mention when he was active, it may be that the contributions for which he was notable are beyond the reach of google. Most music critics strike me as a waste of space, but that's not a good enough reason to banish the entry. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 04:44, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. He is not listed in the Encyclopedia of Popular Music. Of the eight articles that mention "Mark Foster" in Music Index none are about the music critic, most are about the classical conductor Mark Foster. This Mark Foster was not found in Marquis Who's Who on the Web. --Bejnar (talk) 04:12, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete writing for a few notable publications doesn't make you notable - or every advertiser in the newspaper is notable. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 21:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
