The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. I don't doubt the veracity, just the importance. It is an interesting slice of history but only asserts minimal and local importance. It it had any wider impact the article should be recreated to show this, but at the moment, I'm afraid it doesn't merit inclusion. If it can be shown to be mentioned in histories of the period, that would be a different matter.Tyrenius 23:40, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Captain PJs Disco

Nice vanity piece, but still looks like vanity, as I can really find nothing that meets WP:BIO or WP:V -Nv8200p talk 15:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Its about a business, an entertainment organisation, a bunch of performers, a slice on a country history, its nothing to do with a BIO, so i can see the knives are out - but really, who cares that much? Its just more of the same. The pictures are evidence of reality, do you think they are false? just do your cleansing, I'm probably the only one who will notice.moza 09:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Photo of Captain PJ (aka Paul Moss), taken by employeee on my camera and my film, processing paid for my me! and uploaded by Kiwi Musician. Captain PJ's Disco was the name of a musical group entertainment business, based in the Waikato, New Zealand from 1970 to 1981. Programmes was the name of the light-show operated in conjunction with the disco, and live bands. The company name was Grafix Programmes Limited. The disco operation started out operating under the name Spectra Studios. The photo was designed and commissioned by the company, and created by a contracted disc jockey. The copyright was owned by the company, until dissolution in 1983, and the original company owner and managing director, Paul Moss, has released the image to wikipedia, for free use. The business was widely advertised for many years in the local newspaper The Waikato Times for this business, and is verifiable at any library holding copies. The business belonged to the managing director of the company, and still exists in all the records of the period, the Telecom_New_Zealand phone books, newspapers, entertainment diaries. The image has been published since 2001 at nzreward. More info about Paul Moss can be found at User:Paul_Moss and User:Mozasaur. Further verification has been published at Paul Moss CV for 6 years, last update Dec 2004. all content moved here Captain_PJs_Disco I think its called wikifying/userfying/jibbajabba.moza 14:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete fails [WP:V]] -- Whpq 13:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
• Vanispamcruftisement fails WP:V - badly. ...Its. A. Frickin'. Advert!!! Short of a telephone number, this should be in a catalogue, it has no encyclopedic value whatsoever. And I'm certainly not happy about the inclusion at the top of the "Mobile DJ" section of "DJ" article. Unless Captain PJ was the first mobile DJ to work New Zealand (which by the articles own admission, he wasn't)... remove this immediately!!! ----Thumbsucker-UK 13:20, 09 September 2006 (UTC)
