[edit] Mumpsy

Vanity page for a non notable artist Nuttah68 09:17, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete - CSD A7. Tagged as such. MER-C 10:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete Fails WP:MUSIC, and, as MER-C says, CSD A7. Thε Halo Θ 14:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • It's definitely not a speedy candidate. The subject has toured, and released an album. Failure of WP:MUSIC is a good argument for deletion, but is not relevant to the speedy process. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 15:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I was ansure of how that perticular tour would affect the CSD. The article makes it sound like he was a supporting act. Does this, seeing as you know more about this than me, effect the CSD? And, I'm ashamed to admit, I also thought that the CD was self published :( Thε Halo Θ 16:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Supporting act and a CD can be (but isn't necessarily, seeing as he fails WP:MUSIC an' all) enough for AfD to support, depending on other factors such as the phase of the moon. As such, I'm sure you'll agree it's inappropriate to speedy delete an article under A7 if there's a possibility that AfD will keep? As for self-published, if you look at the label's website, that's pretty clearly not the case. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 09:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the help, fuddlemark :). Thε Halo Θ 10:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 22:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Also fails WP:NPOV and WP:AUTO. Article created by "the wunderkind" Mumpsy. Records on an obscure record label which has perhaps 9 musical artists signed, and nothing in the Record label's own shop. Amazon returns zero relevant hits for "The Exuberance of Peachtree" and "Mumpsy". Ohconfucius 03:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I nominate The Exuberance of Peachtree for deletion as non notable album by NN artist.Ohconfucius 03:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Please try to refrain from using AfD jargon; these subpages can be read by anyone, including the original author of the article, who will often be a newbie and thus unfamiliar with the bloody stupid terms we've come up with here to confuse outsiders. It's impolite to throw about things like "NN". fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 09:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Begging your pardon, I think it's a bit patronising to avoid jargon within the community. Most wikipedians have the intelligence or education to look up phrases, acronyms and words which they don't know. After all, that's what wiki is for. In my above nomination, the term "not notable" was already used, and NN was used to avoid duplication. Honorable though your intentions may be, I somehow don't think your idea will catch on, as it is not very practical for everyone used exclusively the longhand form of commonly used wiki terms. You yourself have used "AfD" and "A7", for example, within the scope of this discussion. Ohconfucius 02:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

-Alright kids. The subject at hand is over deleting this page, OK? As author of this page, I'd rather have the out and out over whether or not something is "jargon" or "offensive" any day. --Mumpsy 14:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

  • KEEP per WP:MUSIC, Music and ensembles, bullet #7. According to various sources (Orlando Weekly sited), Mumpsy is considered the best accousic pserormer in the Orlando music scene. Also... in response to the comment from Ohconfucius, his CD IS indeed sold in the label's shop. This doesn't change anything for wiki, but what's written on this page should still correct. xo Tony
  • KEEP I've got more and more information to add on a daily basis. I've just added national and internationally known artists that have asked Mumpsy to open up for them when playing shows in Orlando and elsewhere. Also, with the start of 2007, the new release on Post Records will be distributed nationwide. With that, the album should also be charting. Mumpsy 17:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete: Doesn't seem to quite meet WP:MUSIC. The fact that the author appears to be the subject also creates problems with WP:AUTO. Heimstern Läufer 23:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
