[edit] Seppel Bruyere

The 3 google hits are guitar-related by don't seem to back up the assertion of notability. Kappa 04:35, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, provided the article's claims are accurate. If they're false, delete. Superm401 | Talk 04:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Article claims he wrote (not co-wrote) "Smells Like Teen Spirit", but All-Music Guide doesn't list him as a composer (Kurt Cobain/Dave Grohl/Krist Novoselic are listed). In fact, Bruyere doesn't even show up in AMG at all. Also, he is not mentioned in the song article. We'd need some reliable evidence even to consider keeping this article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 05:18, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Sounds made up to me. If he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit, how come he's not even recognized by Google. (Notorious4life 06:11, 28 November 2005 (UTC))
• Delete possibly speedy as silly vandalism. Probably a hoax in any case and no verifiable evidence of any connection with Nirvana let alone writing two of their most notable songs. Capitalistroadster 06:34, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I wish that the US Copyright Office's search was working right now, since it would be easily verifiable, but the only music related hit I found was the posting of a random guitar tab on a tab website. Peyna 06:47, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Copyright Search working this morning, the author for Smells Like Teen Spirit is listed as " words & music: Virgin Songs, Inc., employer for hire of Kurt Cobain, Chris Novoselic & David Grohl. Which means Virgin owns the copyright and the guys were the authors. Copyright law requires the actual authors be listed, regardless of who owns the copyright, so we have to assume it is correct unless there is some evidence of a conspiracy. For musicians that have others write their works, you will find the actual author's name listed in the copyright. Peyna 14:09, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete although I can recall seeing a documentary about Nirvana which suggested that they did not write a lot of their own songs - just wrote lyrics and such. There was apparently a group of people behind them, helping them out. Zordrac 08:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - Patent nonsense. --kingboyk 10:21, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete and a 24 hour block for the author for vandalism (if he or she has been warned, but a test3 warning, if not): vicious hallucinations. Geogre 17:51, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete and block the author for vandalism: in a separate edit, he/she also claimed (falsely, of course) that Seppel Bruyere was a member of Marilyn Manson. --keepsleeping say what 21:25, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete as nonsense.  RasputinAXP  _{talk contribs} 22:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
