[edit] Oscar Bianchi

Terrible, embarrassing, self-penned vanity. But lots of claims of notability, which, if true, would make a substantially rewritten article a useful addition. Originally nominated for speedy deletion under CSD-A7, the above stopped me from deleting it but also stopped me from just keeping it. Opinions, please.➨ ЯEDVERS 21:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Reads like a magazine vanity piece. ReverendG 21:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, stub and rewrite. He meets WP:MUSIC, I think: among other things he's won a Gaudeamus_Prize. Bucketsofg 21:36, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per {{db-spam}}, so tagged. Someone who cares, and who is not Oscar Bianchi, can then do the rewrite Bucketsofg is proposing. Sandstein 20:27, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Not a company, product, group or service as stated by {{db-spam}}. This is a person, and he asserts notability under our existing rules. This could be false, or not enough, but it is an assertion of notability as we require. Not a speedy delete and tag removed. ➨ ЯEDVERS 20:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• OK, you're right strictly speaking, but since he's essentially presenting himself in his professional capacity as a (presumably paid) musician providing entertainment services, I could also see us applying db-spam per analogiam. That's exactly the sort of text it was created for. Sandstein 20:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• ... Er, yes, thank you, I did read what you wrote the first time around. No point in wasting precious bytes here :-) Sandstein 21:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Lots of vanity, article created by a user with the same name as the article, so it meets WP:COI. If it's really relevant, let's have other people write the article from a WP:NPOV. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dockingman (talk • contribs).

• I support deletion, but it should be noted that per WP:COI, "an author's conflict of interest by itself is not a basis for deletion". Sandstein 20:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• So your reason for deletion (he says, playing Devil's advocate), would be...? ➨ ЯEDVERS 21:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• ... per {{db-spam}} or WP:SPAM ("Advertisements masquerading as articles"), if that's not clear from my above comment. Sandstein 21:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete; it's not clear to me that the Gaudeamus prize is sufficient to meet WP:MUSIC, and in any case the article has problems with WP:RS, WP:NPOV, and WP:V. Vectro 04:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
