[edit] J. R. Writer

The discussion page for this article says there was a deletion debate in December 2005, but I am at a loss to find it (the linked page is red). Regardless of that, I have strong doubts that this article meets our current test for WP:BLP, biographical guidelines, musician guidelines, et cetera, no matter how funny I find it that he has a "CrackSpace" profile.

  • Note the previous deletion discussion is here; the article had been moved. Black Kite 17:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the scoop Black Kite. What I find most astounding is that people have been trying to find sources for this "article" since mid 2005, and zero progress has been made. Its just one steady stream of constant vandalism and rumor mongering for three years running; full of fail. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 20:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Oh, and I forgot to say - Redirect to The Diplomats. Black Kite 23:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Redirect to The Diplomats. Doesn't look like he has his own notability. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 08:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp (talk) 02:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. After giving this much thought and allowing 5+ days to pass, it is apparent that there is little to nothing in the way of reliable third party sources available about this subject. We cannot allow this edit history to remain any longer under these circumstances, regardless of whether or not a redirect is created afterwards, in which case I would propose only a hard-redirect be created until we come to a time when such sources can be found. Sincerely, Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 20:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The lack of citations from reliable sources indicates to me that the article fails to comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 21:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per the comments above. Much more than "5+ days" have passed in a search for sources, the article has been lacking in that department for 2 years now, and fails WP:BLP as a result. (jarbarf) (talk) 22:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
