[edit] Harel Malka

This article does not provide references and gives the outward appearance of being a vanity autobiography. Google returns approximately 180 hits for the name, but there may be an alternate spelling I'm unaware of. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I would have thought that if google returns 180 hits for the name it should be enough to keep a wikipedia entry.
Furthermore I am the author, but NOT the person represented on the page. There are 2 different people editing this page from the same IP as we are on the same subnet. I don't think that's forbidden, either.

  • Delete, asserts notability so can't be speedily deleted, but I'm not seeing much on the guy. No mention of being a co founder of Egg Beats, which seems to be the only possible source of notability (and Egg Beats would fail WP:MUSIC). Proto||type 08:46, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
From that link: About Egg Beats: Egg Beats is an independent, San Francisco based record label dedicated to nurturing undergound sounds. Formed by Bryan Dobson and Harel Malka in 2001, Egg Beats has been incubating for a few years. Things are cracking open in 2004 with several releases and events, including the debut from San Francisco's Moontrane Conductors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.206.58.72 (talk • contribs)
  • Keep - On wikipedia, we have multiple page about programmers and musicians that are not world-famous, but famous in their own 'undergrounds'. Just try to ask my mother who 'jimbo' is. Because you don't know it doesn't mean it's not relevant to other people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.206.58.72 (talk • contribs)

I didn't vote twice. There are 2 of us from the same IP. Two of us = two votes.
  • Delete. Lacks independent sources and verification of notability. Gamaliel 09:00, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Co-founder of a micro-micro-micro-indie record label which doesn't even have an article itself. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:06, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as a coder he's insignificant... as a musician he's still insignificant. The record label however is quite notable, Starblind dunno where you got your info from but the article doesnt state he founded the label, merely that he has released on it. As for it being a micro-micro-micro indie record label... thats utter hogwash. see here for a list of releases... I can point to probably 100+ reviews of stuff on that label, while it is independant it most certainly is not micro, several CDs released on the label have gone Silver or Gold. Suggest redirecting Harel Malka to Phonokol Records and adding a small sentance stating he's an artist on the label.  ALKIVAR™ 00:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Further up in the AFD it's stated that he co-founded "Egg Beats", a label which as far as I can tell has released one record since being formed in 2001. That record currently has a 112,471 rank among Amazon music items, meaning it's sold less copies than, say, a rare $33.00 Japanese import CD of Strawberry Switchblade's self-titled debut album, for example. As for Malka's involvement with Phonokol, it seems to be limited to one track on a verious-artists compilation titled "Morning In Space". Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:56, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Ahh yeah that would be my bad... I think AFD posters should link to a static revision they viewed... because comments dont always follow... I assumed you were talking about Phonokol. I completely missed the Egg Beats references.  ALKIVAR™ 03:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • DELETE - WOHAA people. I AM Harel Malka, and this was done by some other joe-shmoes in the company. we all share the same IP. I didn't know this was here. Go ahead and kill this article.... Damn.... ;o) Its true - as a musician i'm micro (or was micro-ish). The label is micro. As a programmer though - I'm quite the macro but that is still not grounds for this article. One day i'll be emperor and have my very own wikipedia. till then delete me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.206.58.72 (talk • contribs)
  • KEEP - hey! what's going on there! I AM Harel Malka, and I'd very much like my work to be recognized, no matter how 'underground' it might be. Don't listen to the jackass above - keep the article!
  • DELETE - Ok, this has gone far enough. I've signed in now - and I am Harel. The real deal. Please delete this article. It's an office joke played on me here... must admit it was funny while it lasted, but it did last too long. Yamagami 15:55, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 19:12, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
