[edit] Austin Cookins
I originally tagged this article for cleanup but upon further investigation I don't see any notability here. The text looks to be copied from some sort of press release and a Google search brings up nothing but the Wikipedia page on Timbaland, stating that this person is signed to Timaland's label. Suggesting delete until at least some press is generated or an announcement about a debut album. Austin Cookins' acting career seems to consist of an on-set visit to a soap opera and "almost" getting a role. - eo (talk) 23:26, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete: This reads like his mum wrote it: "Austin has always loved to act, when he was ten years old he would make up these cute movie scripts." Ahh, sweet. There are no ghits, except two Wikipedia hits, but I also found a Facebok entry for him, when he wrote to a daytime TV soapstar on 13 Mar 2008 and said: "Hey Adrienne, I am going to star on "Young and the Restless" I met up with some of the producers and writers for the show, Several days ago. I'm really excited. I guess I will portray Daniel's "friend" from High School with a secret....." Ijust wonder if this is all a hoax.--Seahamlass (talk) 23:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

- Delete on the grounds that it's only two references are a MySpace page and a blog alone. Gwandoya Talk 05:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- delete looks like a hoax to me: no sourcing, no keeping. Pete.Hurd (talk) 07:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- delete it. It's an obvious fake.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.0.118.1 (talk • contribs)
- Delete The myspace, etc. suggest that he's real, but still non-notable. SingCal 22:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete If no additional sources can be located, then delete. This article needs to be totally rewritten. I have included some helpful items on the discussion page to help the person read about how to write a good first time article. But this single entry is in dire need of additional credible references or to be deleted and started over. C. Williams (talk) 22:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete for reasons stated above. (jarbarf) (talk) 03:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment to whomever closes this AfD, I would suggest a protection against recreation, if this does get deleted (looks like it will). There is suddenly a lot of vandalism here, including the removal of the AfD tag multiple times, and this person's name keeps "appearing" on the article for Madonna's latest album as a co-producer. Another editor recently told me on my Talk Page that this person is apparently claiming to have worked with Timbaland and is using Wikipedia to promote himself. Whether or not that is true, I would expect that this will be promptly recreated once removed. Just my $.02. - eo (talk) 21:45, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
