[edit] Aaron Spears

Aaron Spears (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Uncompleted AfD by user:Hourick. I imagine this is for a non-notable musician. No opinion myself. (Moved from July 6 log) Flyguy649 talk contribs 03:56, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Hourick misplaced an afd2 template on Talk:Aaron Spears. Accompanying text is "WP:NPOV Non verifiable", "Does anybody know any info on any album's he has been on?" I have no opinion on the AfD itself. --Finngall talk 04:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The album cover confirms that he played on three tracks of Confessions, the Grammy-winning Album of the Year and a Billboard #1 hit album. A cleanup tag would be appropriate but he passes WP:MUSIC. --Charlene 04:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Very weak keep, he appears to squeak by WP:BAND. Barely. — Coren (talk) 05:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Coren. Oysterguitarist 06:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep, allmusic has no bio as yet (always a good metric for whether we should have an article), but they credit him as Usher's producer.[1] I actually think that's more notable than just being a session drummer. The article is chatty and needs cleanup. --Dhartung | Talk 06:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Correction Scratch that, the article had it buried that he produced two tracks. But I did find him winning the 2006 Modern Drummer "Up and Coming" poll, satisfying the recognition-by-peers criterion. --Dhartung | Talk 06:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep, per charlene and also since he is the drummer of one of the most notable R&B (not Pop) artist in the U.S in instance Usher.--JForget 18:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment its a direct copyright violation from here. T Rex | talk 22:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Note, I've placed a copyvio on the article, but didn't tag it for speedy pending the result here. — Coren (talk) 00:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
      • Comment I'd be willing to rewrite using the copyvio as a source, if the closing admin is interested. Mind you, since this seems to be a weak keep (not considering the copyvio), it may be easier to delete outright. Flyguy649 talk contribs 04:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
