Article put up for discussion as per recommendation on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#David_Mader_Article. References and citations are unclear, usually in foreign langauge and major contributor is becoming abusive towards several editors. This singer does not appear to meet the notability requirements of WP:MUSIC. A prod was issued 2 November, but removed by author. Hammer1980·^talk 20:52, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Comment Author blanked the page. Looking at the diffs, if he's really signed by Warner Music Group he'll be notable by our guidelines once he realeases another album, and for all I know is notable now. I'm not really inclined to check further unless I see that there will be a page to consider. Xymmax 21:12, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete, author has requested deletion here. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 21:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete the article as it stands at present. The claim that he's signed by Warner is a false claim, classic overexaggeration of what the sources say. The source provided show he's appeared on compilation albums by two artists that were released on Warner. There's thousands of underground club hits that frequently end up on comp albums, it doesn't make the original artist pass WP:MUSIC. A finalist in the show that selects the Eurovision Song Contest entry for Denmark means little, if he'd won that would have been different. There's absolutely no source for the claim that the single "received heavy airplay on Danmarks Radio P3", in fact BigDunc has repeatedly tried to get the authors of the article to source claims such as this without success. No non-trivial sources, exaggerated claims, fails WP:MUSIC and WP:V. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 21:27, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

• Good research One Night In Hackney, in particular given that you don't speak Danish :) Two of the original three refs are dead and the last simply directed to "search all public libraries in Denmark" feature (many Danish public libraries also offer loans of music discs.). According to the Danmarks Radio webpage [1][2] he starred in the 2006 Danish Eurovision contest, but the annual show normally has ten participating bands or so. In fact, Denmark's biggest online music store features just a single song by him, the one from 2006.[3] Non-notable artist failing WP:MUSIC, so Delete.
