[edit] Shaz Oye

Unsourced autobiography. I'd say the big long word that starts with V, but the author/subject has made an effort to improve the article. Contested prod. MER-C 08:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete Obvious autobiography, fails WP:BIO, WP:NN big time. Realkyhick 09:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per nom and above. --Tractorkingsfan 09:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:MUSIC; apart from her own website and the magazine award (which isn't verified), there's no evidence of sourcing or external coverage. However, not a case for speedy deletion as it does assert notability (by mentioning the awards) so doesn't come under CSD A7. Walton monarchist89 11:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I have clearly done an injustice to the subject, by writing under a name that implies I am she. This is not autobiography, but that clearly is not the only issue here, as MER-C points out that he is dissatisfied as to Verifiability. However following a quick search of Wikipedia, I have found several other entries that are currently unchallenged and they do not appear to have any substanially different or additional verifiable sources then this entry in quesion. I am curious as to why they should be unchallenged and this entry be challenged.

Fionn Reganand Declan O'Rourke being just two examples. I am asking this not out of beligerence, but from a genuine desire to understand this process. --Shazoye 12:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment I don't think the problem is with WP:MUSIC but with WP:V Alf photoman 18:21, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep I suspect that the main reason people believe this to be self-publicity is because the article sounds self-promotional and uses weasel words to a certain degree by their subjectivity, and the highly positive quotes aren't cited properly. I went ahead and cleaned up the article to remove subjective descriptions, but the quotes still need citations. I suggest Shazoye, if you have the original publications with those quotes to cite them by the Wiki guidelines at WP:CITE, but otherwise delete them and allow this to exist as a music stub for now. --SquatGoblin 16:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Without any indication that the notability assertions are fact, we need to delete the article. Vegaswikian 01:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
