[edit] Jack Hsu

Fails WP:MUSIC, and judging from the comments on User talk:Jack71483, this article appears to be part of an ongoing problem of non-notable autobiographies. –Sommers ^(Talk) 14:37, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable vanity, does not meet established WP:MUSIC criteria. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 14:45, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep needs a serious cleanup ... but he did perform at Carnegie Hall in 2000. That alone warrants at least SOME information on the guy. Claims "first place in the yearly annual Nankin Er-Hu competition" that would probably pass as "Has won or placed in a major music competition." He also appears to have collaborated with several independant bands/musicians one of which was signed to Polydor... Per my standards this just barely squeeks by. Of course this all hinges on whether or not this can be verified. Cant be verified ... nuke it.  ALKIVAR™ 22:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Performing at Carnegie Hall is impressive, but lots of people perform there as members of an orchestra or band, and surely Wikipedia needn't have an individual article for every one of them. The article doesn't assert that this isn't the case for Hsu; on the contrary, it implies that he was there as a member of the NYC Opera Orchestral program. If he performed there solo, then yeah, that would be another story. Also, I agree with your point about verifiability; thanks for bringing it up. –Sommers ^(Talk) 16:34, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A google search for "Nankin Er-Hu" only brings back the MySpace page this guy created. I can't verify the Carnegie Hall info either. And anyway, I've performed hundreds of shows during my life including at Minneapolis' Orchestra Hall twice, Ted Mann Concert Hall a bunch of times, First Avenue once, and as part of A Prairie Home Companion once, and neither I nor my band could be considered anywhere close to notable... Yet. Grandmasterka 01:49, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Alkivar. --Terence Ong 11:31, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Simply performing once at Carnegie Hall in 2000 is not sufficient. Crunch 12:11, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Apparently one in a series of vanity articles created by this person. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NMG. PJM 12:36, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - not notable enough. Latinus 21:56, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nominator, does not meet WP:BIO nor WP:MUSIC. Hall Monitor 22:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Most of the Google stuff is his own pages. The two of them are on

• • What about this other guy Akimasa Nihongi - he's got like 65 Googles and the same guy User talk:Jack71483 created the article. He was a student in Berklee OK (sold his bed on their site ;) but is his record stuff for real? Defunkier 14:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete... no news articles on him in Proquest/Newsbank, no notability. Calwatch 04:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
