[edit] John Carta

John Carta (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable musician. Google search for the name gets the website of a musician who has television and movie credits, but is not the subject of the article. It's just a biography about a non-notable college student. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 01:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Wait No one said anything about him being a Yu-Gi-Oh! master! Yeah, delete. NN vanity bio.--Sethacus 01:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per failure of WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. That said, credit to the author for composing something more interesting than the typical article of the type. --Moonriddengirl 02:17, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete - Vanity bio! fails to meet WP:BIO. Tiptoety 04:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete. Apparently I wasn't doing new page patrol that day ;-). Notability neither asserted nor demonstrated. Accounting4Taste 18:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Very Strong Keep - Just because John Carta is not a nationally known musician or Yu-Gi-Oh master doesn't mean he's not notable. His life's biography and renown fame is important to many in New England. His fame is not due to his having a website, it is the result of the passing down of his tales by his fans from generation to generation. There is also a facebook group in his honor with over 60 members. It may not be a large number, but those are some hardcore John Carta Fans. Taking away their John Carta, is like taking away their will to live. John Carta will be remembered in the hearts of the many he has touched, and been touched by, forever. Long live Carlito. jrthib T/C 03:52, 1 October 2007 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.99.117.166 (talk) — Jrthib (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — 137.99.117.166 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    • Ah, so he's a folk legend? Yeah, I somehow doubt that.--Sethacus 15:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
    • So if he's so important, why aren't there isn't any coverage of his feats in reliable sources then? NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 01:18, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
