[edit] Raymond Meyer

No vote procedural nomination. Been speedied before under a different title. Now the author has reposted an expanded version with my help. WP:MUSIC is an obvious concern here.- CrazyRussian talk/email 21:39, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I have read the policies. I am able to validiate with articles from 2 MCBS publication (one in Aug '04 & one in July '05) as well as an article from Birmingham Weekly. I will also submit his list of persons who have requested to be on his e-mail list. This includes major publishers of magazines such as Blues Review who have been asking us about printing an article pertaining to his relief efforst for victims of Hurricane Katrina & then Rita in Pearlington, MS who were being cut-off from government support by surrounding larger cities. Music Magazines that are working on follow-up articles are located in Canada & in Scottland. Bama.brat 21:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)bama.bratBama.brat 21:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Nominal Keep Raymond Meyer perhaps notable. OMEN 22:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This is better sourced, but endorsements like these: Marty Eagle, owner of Marty's Bar clearly put this artist in the limitless pool of local musicians. The thing about 30 requests per day should be removed per WP:NOR. ~ trialsanderrors 00:00, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Per your request, I have removed "30 per day" - please see if this is more to your liking :) Thank you 24.175.143.111 05:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC) bama.brat 24.175.143.111 05:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

IN an attempt to avoid Vaniy issues, I have left out information about this: This includes major publishers of magazines such as Blues Review who have been asking us about printing an article pertaining to his relief efforst for victims of Hurricane Katrina & then Rita in Pearlington, MS who were being cut-off from government support by surrounding larger cities. Music Magazines that are working on follow-up articles are located in Canada & in Scottland. --- these articles are slated for a Katrina/Rita a year later type of stories to address the major issues and the major efforts and all the work still to be done even a year later..... I am afraid if I include this information... especially about the involvement with Pearlington, MS will look like Vanity until after the articles are made public & then can be referenced as press/media information. Any suggestions? 24.175.143.111 05:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)bama.brat24.175.143.111 05:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Mentions in publications are ok - not vanity. Tell us about all articles that profile him - these go to notability per WP:BIO - CrazyRussian talk/email 05:20, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Make sure I am clear on this... I should mention he has been interviewed by Music Industry magazines in America, Scottland, and Canada pertaining to efforts to bring attention to the problems experienced in Pearlington, MS... that began due to destruction from Katrina/Rita... or that another fundraiser is plannded or show the date of the first one... that was on WBHM/NPR or exactly what??? I am confused..... I suppose it is dificult for me to see those highly politically charged issues from an objective rather then a subjective view..... he is a musician... he uses his music to make the world a better place thru his fundraising efforts... he donates his talent at least as often as he gets paid because he believes these things are important to endorse and to bring attention.... How can I put this into words without it appearing to be Vanity?

  • Oh stop it. If he was in the news, put it in, with links and dates etc. - CrazyRussian talk/email 05:46, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC. Wikipedia is not a list of everyone who ever made the nightly news. -- GWO
    • What? Perhaps, "Wikipedia is not a list of everyone who has received a Nobel prize" - why not? - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:58, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete despite being a lovely fan piece, no notability is established. --Aguerriero (talk) 22:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
