[edit] Tony Reed

Massive self-promotion, I don't really see much prove of notability, he's fairly unknown on serieus professional music sources on internet too... User:Cybersonik [1] discovered the contributions of User:Qabbalah, the author of this article; and, as it seems, writing an article about himself. Even worse: he's inserting his name in many different articles, spamming wikipedia as self-promotion; see Special:Contributions/Qabbalah LimoWreck 21:09, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

  • He's also created article about some "albums", which actually seem to be mp3.com downloads, not official releases ?
    • Love (Tony Reed album)
    • Lost (Tony Reed album)
    • Liquid (Tony Reed album)
    • Liquid (album)
    • Fall of the American Empire (album)
    • Cafe Graffiti
  • Delete, fails WP:MUSIC with aplomb. Leibniz 21:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all and consider block of creator's account as oer bin There's way too much self-promotion abuse on Wikipedia... this is an especially bad example. ("Cafepress.com" record label indeed...) Bwithh 22:27, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete poor NN Tony, if only he were a Pokémon character. --RMHED 23:31, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep There are those of us in the christian community who are familar with this musicians work. The fact that he sells his music without a label is part of his appeal and is clearly addressed in the article. However, I agree that "Qabbalah" ought to have his account suspended.User:HisNameIsAlive 21:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I am the artist that this article addresses. I created this account solely for this entry. I don't care whether I have an article on this page or not, but apparently at least one fanatic does. I don't challenge deleting the article so much as I suggest blocking the account of the user. BTW The Pokemon comment was funny.User:TonySReed 22:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Update After actually reading the article, I propose that it be changed. There are some things that Qabbalah wrote about me that are not completely true and some notable things that were left out. Also, there's some personal information posted there that I prefer not to be accessable to the public. How did he get my wedding photo? I certainly agree that the pages dedicated to my albums ought to be removed or merged. The same with Cafe Graffiti which was not notable except, perhaps, as a side note. I will be happy to change it myself, but I don't know how. RE: WP:MUSIC, There are two "notable" credits - 1. I toured South America and Mexico with Elegant Machinery - 2. I have been played on "Alternative" stations owned by Clearchannel (Something I regret, but it qualifies) Also-It is important to note that I have sold enough copies of my first two albums to earn a gold record, but I refuse to join the pathetic agencies that masquerade as unions, so I don't qualify.User:TonySReed
  • Delete all as the subject fails WP:MUSIC. Prolog 16:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
