Tracy Rice (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears autobiographical and is not notable, failing WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO Selket ^Talk 19:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

• I have combined the singer and her albums. Also nominated are:
  • Truth (album, Tracy Rice) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
  • Out of the Light (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) --Dhartung | Talk 20:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Tracy Rice albums (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (added by closing admin)

• Delete all, fails WP:MUSIC after extensive searching, one reliable source[1], all others just appearance listings or promotional. --Dhartung | Talk 19:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
• Is one reliable source not enough? On the other hand, if it's autobiographical, that's not good. Weak delete – Qxz 20:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • The article creator was Micahsheppa (talk · contribs), and the article says that Micah Sheppard is Rice's civil partner. That's clear WP:COI, and in the case of questionable notability, tips the balance for me. --Dhartung | Talk 22:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Friends, I am her manager and her wife. I believe the article (not autobiographical) is sufficiently neutral for inclusion, regardless. I've added a few links to help with notability --micahsheppa | talk 01:53, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Delete far to much unverifiable material, borderline notability and COI. When or if this person becomes more notable some one who doesn't live with here will create an article. --Daniel J. Leivick 18:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• It's fairly common for artists to marry their managers. I consider a fan-generated page less reliable than an industry-generated one. If you will specify which material in particular needs to be verified, I will attempt to clarify. --micahsheppa | talk 12:59, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• A manager as well as a spouse has a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not a music press-release service, and "industry generated" biographies are inherently biased -- they violate the core policies of Wikipedia. --Dhartung | Talk 19:03, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

• Ah, my fatal flaw is honesty, then. Delete away.--micahsheppa | talk 21:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
