[edit] Alicia Dara

Alicia Dara (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Non-notable musician that doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion in wikipedia. The article is also one big copyright violation of this band profile. Bobblehead 02:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep Narrowly meets WP:MUSIC -- Librarianofages 02:31, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Yes...members of her albums band come from notable backgrounds. Clean up and neutrality/rewrite a must. Missvain 02:44, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete Completely fails accepted notability guidelines, we need some method of merging stuff to myspace. •Elomis• 02:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete due to copyright concerns. MER-C 03:10, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral - Seems half notable, but isn't referenced & has copyright issues... Gulp! Spawn Man 05:22, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete due to copyright violations. If the bad is sufficiently notable, we can create a stub and work from there, but this info is certainly ripped. --Brad Beattie (talk) 05:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment She might be worthy of an entry due to band members, but editing a sentence or two in the existing article isn't enough to dodge the legal issues. I'd recommend leaving a short stub only, but adding a link to the Seattle article in the External Links section. I'd also like to see some of the movies and TV shows she's supposed to have worked on - "can be heard all over the Web" sounds like PR to me... Quack 688 10:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, just about hits notablilty guidelines (and she's quite hot). Amists talk • contribs 11:39, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Without denying that she looks good, and even assuming she has talent, no basis is demonstrated for having an article at this time. The article has many phrases the same as [1] so there may be copyvio issues unless the Wikipedia article came first. The many unsupported claims: "fans all over the world," "sold well," "popular" do not provide even one independent attestation of notability. A websearch of several thousand publications disclosed no reviews in publications of general circulation. Google only has 590 hits. There are no verified (or even unverified) numbers of cd's sold or paid downloads. Anyone with a computer and a microphone can create 5 self-produced CD's. It is up to the creaters of an article to provide multiple independent reliable sources to show that the subject is notable. Wikipedia is not a site for promoting new talent. Become famous, (I expect she well may) THEN you get an article. Edison 16:12, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and Edison. This just reeks of self-promotion and WP:COI. --Aaron 16:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete If it is a copyvio, than why hasn't it been speedied already? HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 17:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, unless some decent references turn up. Listed as working TV Soundtracks, but nothing in IMDB for her. Give it a bit (nix on the speedy). If it survives, needs a drastic rewrite to stop it sounding like a promo blurb. Drjon 22:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete There needs to be references. ¿ςפקιДИτς! ☺ ☻ 00:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)\
  • Weak delete Working with notable people doesn't necessarily make someone notable - otherwise we could unfortunately end up with every extra in Hollywood having an article. That these albums are self-released, and that she's still primarily an educator...I have to think that she's not notable. --TheOtherBob 01:51, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete No evidence of notability to be found. If her bandmates are notable, they're only minimally so. If she was suddenly fronting, say, a re-formed The Smiths, that'd be a different story. Simões (talk/contribs) 08:51, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
