[edit] Bob Ricci

Vanity. Started and mostly written by Bob Ricci. Fails WP:MUSIC, I think. This might be the second nomination. cookiecaper (talk / contribs) 01:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete: Unsigned, distributed by the website, and estimated fan base is not the same thing as sales estimates. Parody artists have a lot of trouble, I know, and a lot of Dr. Demento sorts of artists can indeed have huge fan bases with no contract, but unless we have some method of verification, both WP:AUTO and WP:MUSIC apply.

• Weak keep. Amazon.com has his two albums for sale, and as much as I'd like to dismiss this article as vanity, there's no shortage of vain musical artists. Black-Velvet 07:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Vanity is not so much the issue, notability is. Fails WP:MUSIC for lacking charted albums, and not having multiple non-trivial articles written about him by third parties. The fact that he has albums for sale does not lend itself to notability either, since anyone with a CD-burner can have an album for sale. Tychocat 08:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment I found third parties writting about this musician as part of the 3,430 ask.com hits.—— Eagle (ask me for help) 19:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Query: Did you add the information to the article and rewrite enough that voters should look again to re-evaluate their votes? Geogre 20:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: No, I was merely doing some fact checking, if you would like me to do so, I will post the relevent sources to the talk page or this disscussion here. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 20:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I found the article interesting, and just what I was looking for. I see no reason for it to be deleted unless someone else has something better to put up first, and then it may as well just be editted.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.133.39.202 (talk • contribs). - first edit since November.

• Delete NN. The comment 'his exciting and funny live performances as well as his “ingenious and hilarious” lyrical compositions' should be preserved in amber in case anyone asks for an example of POV! BlueValour 02:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
