The result was Delete, I think it satisfies category a7, no assertion of notability, but we'll call it WP:SNOW to be safe. NawlinWiki 20:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cris P

(Sigh...) Contested prod, so here we go wasting everyone's time... Unsigned musician with no releases, no media coverage whatsoever and not even a myspace page let alone a single reliable source. — iridescent 17:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Isn't there a speed category for non-notable bands? -- Mikeblas 17:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• SPeedy Delete This should have gone under {{db-band}} and not even gotten here. Improbcat 17:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately doesn't fit A7 for a speedy as there's an assertion of notability, even if it's almost certainly bogus; "hoax" is (necessarily but annoyingly) specifically not a speedy criteria. — iridescent 17:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

• The speedy tag reads: [...]that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject.

Which as far as I can tell reads that it hasn't indicated that it meets those criteria. Being persued by two major labels and a rumor or signing a third, along with a few small shows and airtime on a tiny station is not any assertion of meeting the Wikipedia:Notability (music) criteria. If the article said "He has signed to Virgin records and has been interviewed on MTV" when he hadn't then it would be a hoax. Improbcat 17:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

If anyone wants to slap a {{db-bio}} on it, believe me I won't argue... I suspect it'll be turned down though. — iridescent 17:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete even if not speediable, and even if the claims to notability aren't a hoax, this article still provides no EVIDENCE in the form of reliable, third-party sources that indicate notability, and thus should be deleted. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. See WP:N. Subdolous 17:46, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I declined the speedy, for two reasons: 1. Hoaxes can't fall under speedy, 2. Even if the Virgin deal is false (and the whole thing is a hoax), it still gives some impression of notability. Still doesn't mean it's safe from deletion mind you, just informing you of my logic here. Kwsn (Ni!) 18:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - for everything listed above. Jauerback 18:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No evidence of a signing other than with Virgin. No prejudice to recreation when Cris signs and releases an album - and hopefully doesn't flop. =^_^= --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. I can see the reasons for not making it a speedy, but do I see WP:SNOW outside? Stifle (talk) 23:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I wouldn't complain about a snowball delete. I'll run it up the pole (good ol' generic {{db}}), see who salutes. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:21, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
