[edit] Malcolm Singleton

I'm a bit new to this so I don't know whether this is the appropriate course of action, but I am listing this for deletion for four reasons. First, I can find no record of this artist at the listed site, which is allegedly the musician's main website. Second, the biography was ripped directly from two sites, songwriter101.com and cdbaby.com. Third, the article addressed the reader and told them to buy the cd and provided the link (I'm not sure but I feel like this is against policy. Fourth and least importantly, the article needed serious wikification if it was indeed a valid entry.--Elizabeth of North Carolina 00:11, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

You are right on the second count {so I have deleted the article), the third count, (so we would have deleted the advert bit), on the fourth count, you could have added template {{wikify}} or simply gone ahead and wikified it!--File Éireann 00:26, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
