Contested PROD. Autobiography of a musician who may be notable, but whose sources consist almost exclusively of myspace and other sites owned by the author. Delete Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 12:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, for lack of independent sources. If the subject is indeed notable, then there are sources somewhere that prove it - but I cannot find any in my (brief) search. I'll continue to dig a little and see what I can come up with. No objection to creating a new article once independent sources are available. ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 13:11, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - the article uses a lot of words to say that he's got a couple of independent CDs out; it suggests he hasn't signed with a notable label, and I can't track any sources that indicate he's reached teh bar of WP:MUSIC at this point. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:44, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Dear friends, if you can see the revised article as done by a most reputable producer on myself, you'll see lots of links not owned by myself as artist, but links of Publishers, Major music companies, publications, where my work or music or books are featured, including interviews, and more. God bless. thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dandavidmusic (talk • contribs)
    • Huh? None of these links come even close to establishing enough notability to warrant a Wikipedia article on you. Sorry. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 19:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
      • OK, I see your point of view. I actually strongly support Wikipdia qualifications for an article on a musician, a local musician should not be on the wikipedia, a local artist neither. But this article on myself, as initiated be people helping my music who simply looked over some facts, was initiated as some of the facts qualified the WP MUSIC standards.

I'm only checking to ensure others' input is correct, this page is for others to input and add. But take notice, while some links where removed, others are added. Being an author as well, on a major publishing label, with my books selling worldwide and being the no. 1 violin method from Canada, is a qualification. I also play for major films and movies, one was added in music facts. I actually played in over 3 major tv productions, none were added yet. I also played for Global's Are you smarter than a Canadian 5th Grader? on openning day. Achievements can go on and on. Also am currently looking over recording offers from major publishers to be signed, so more will be added to the article. I strongly believe this article should stay and be accepted as it will only grow with more achievements, facts and verifiable correct information that will both be proven and checked for accuracy by myself. We support the Wikipedia and this page is for the purpose if information, not self interest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dandavidmusic (talk • contribs) 16:51, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I mean no offense, but none of your comments here are backed up by reliable sources. Articles have to, by policy, be verifiable. I can find no verification, for example, that your statement about "Violin Made Easy" (which as a phrase gets under 300 Google results) being the number-one method from Canada. Your mention of playing on the animated short "The Story of Lydia" is also questionable as notability, as that film seems to have very little coverage as well. If the article is to be kept, the folks working on it must provide specific links to notable, non-trivial secondary sources to confirm the claims made therein. Tony Fox (arf!) 23:45, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for asking Tony. My web design team who have all the facts have been enable to reply these days. As for asking about Violin Made Easy being no. 1 method from Canada, these are facts only the publisher has. For violin methods, many are American. This is the Canadian method that has just entered the market in 2006, and is the best selling of all Canadian violin methods. It was just recently sub published by Music Exchange, one of the largest distributors in England. The search shows them selling it.

As for the film, The story of Lydia, it is coming out soon. The company releasing it on film mentioned on their website of this film to be coming soon. I did also play for ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A CANADIAN 5TH GRADER? which is now known as the no. 1 debut for a Canadian Television show ever as mentioned on their website and on news releases for this show which you can search online. This info is still not mentioned in my article of myself being the only band to play on that show, which I hope others will add in time. If you notice, I also have influenced and worked with other "notable" people in music who are on the Wikipedia. As a little example, the violinist Dr. Draw (Eugene) has been influenced by my music in his earlier years. In fact, he himself joined a facebook group that was created on my music by a fan from Stoofville Ontario. Sincerely, Dandavidmusic (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
