[edit] Josh Winiberg
Vanity article mostly written by the subject, JoshWiniberg (talk · contribs). The only reference it gives is his official biography... amazingly this article has lasted 2 years. There is no media coverage apparently... this needs to be deleted unless sources are found and it's shown he meets WP:BIO. Rividian (talk) 13:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete I was in the middle of Prodding and got an EC for the prod notice and came here. Asserts significance, so I declined the speedy. However, I did not see significant media coverage establishing meeting Wikipedia:Notability (music). Still looking. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 13:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- I skipped PROD because it had already been PROD'd in the past. --Rividian (talk) 13:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Did not see that had been dePRODDED. Went looking for a reason to keep. Although there is a BBC review, it is in a local coverage section. In short, it says he is locally interesting young performer in Essex.] It is not sufficient to meet notability. Allmusic shows the Sunrise album released under his label. Don't believe that playing at the Ravello Festival is sufficient. I don't see that he's "received non-trivial coverage." Dlohcierekim 14:04, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Though there is not print media archive about him, There is coverage online. Mostly, myspace and similar stuff. There are mentions for his work on some games. Hopefully, someone will find something I missed, and I can change to keep. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:17, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

- Delete In the past I have removed a few things from the article, including: a link to buy an album by the artist, POV comments that made the article sound like a soapbox, and various external links. Until recently I didn't even think of removing it. Given the multiple links that have been added the artist gives the impression that he is using Wikipedia simply to promote himself. On those grounds I don't think the article should remain. JamminBen (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete vain vanity in vain. The article is promotional in tone, and if someone other than the subject were to write the article I'd probably be less hard on it, but it's obviously a pump-up piece. JuJube (talk) 04:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. Not enough notability. Perhaps this person should create a myspace account instead. Artene50 (talk) 10:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
