[edit] Seth Lopez

Speedy delete was vigorously contested by Slopez1389, the author of the article. Submitting it here, even though no {hangon} tag was applied. I still maintain that this article is a WP:BIO violation--it's a vanity article about a non-notable lead singer of a non-notable band. Delete. -- Scientizzle 23:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Argument for keep, by Slopez1389: Seth Lopez is the lead guitarist and vocalist from the band Nethers P.O. How do you know he is not important? You have apparently never seen him in concert. He one of the best musicians in the southern Ohio area. He has set up the indie scene in the Dayton area and has accomplished many things in just a short time. Our country is built on freedom for the people and by the people. For an organization to label someone unimportant is un-American. It is especially horrible for an group that calls itself the "free" encyclopedia. The people have a right to decide whether or not Seth Lopez is important not a group of admin.

• • • Comment - many, if not most, of the people who post in the AFD area, myself included, are not administrators. An AFD isn't a judgment of someone's importance or self-worth. Rather, it's a judgment of their NOTABILITY to be included in an encyclopedia. BigDT 23:57, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Furthermore, many of us are indeed "unAmerican", albeit due to the fact a good number of us are not American (although I personally think they have a pretty good country). Oh, and Delete. Fluit 00:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. No listing for Nethers P.O. on allmusic. Regarding the comment above: Wikipedia is not a forum for unregulated free speech nor is it a democracy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. --Fuhghettaboutit 23:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above - local band and no evidence that it meets criteria of WP:BAND BigDT 23:58, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete fails to show or assert verified notability to the levels outlined by WP:BIO or WP:MUSIC.--blue520 12:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
