Steve Moakler

Disputed prod. Article is about an unsigned local performer from Pittsburgh who has (self) released one EP. The article has sources but they are a myspace page (disingenuously described as an "Internet Article" in the refs), some youtube links, and something called absolutepunk.net where it seems I could create a profile for myself right now. Fails WP:MUSIC and the whole thing seems very WP:COI Editor removed prod, as well as tag requesting sources Dina 16:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note I just blocked the originating editor of this article for 24 hours for vandalizing my & another editors userpage and replacing the article with profanity. See [1] Dina 16:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominated: The Weight of Words EP per Eliz81's suggestion below. ~Matticus ^T_C 18:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged The Weight of Words EP to add to this discussion. Incidentally, the author blanked the article so it could qualify for speedy delete per WP:CSD#G7. ~Matticus ^T_C 18:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing as this article will be deleted, I'd just like to thank Dina for wasting my time and effort. I hope you're happy. - V12p (talk · contribs · logs) 16:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:COI I'd just like to thank V12p for wasting everyone elses time. --69.95.216.91 16:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom as NN. COI is not a reason, by itself, to delete. Bearian 16:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it fails WP:MUSIC. Bart133 ^{(t) (c)} 16:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no independent evidence of notability presented. WP:COI is incidental, per Bearian. V12p, if you save a copy of the text, maybe you could put it up on one of the wiki bio sites that let you post whatever. --Dhartung | Talk 16:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:MUSIC semper fictilis 17:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Comment Fails WP:MUSIC, WP:BIO. You will probably also want to consider his EP The Weight of Words EP for deletion as well. Eliz81 17:42, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - way off WP:MUSIC with no label or full-length releases or reliable sources. Zap the EP too. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 20:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both per WP:MUSIC, WP BIO, and NN —Travis ^talk 21:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete Well wide of the notability mark. Also borders on a G12 speedy--virtually the entire article is cut-and-pasted from his Myspace page. Blueboy 96 22:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
