[edit] Matt Cappadona

Matt Cappadona (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Teenage guitarist. No reliable sources to confirm notability provided, and I couldn't find any. Prod tag and several maintenance tags were removed without explanation by an anon IP with five total edits, all relating to this subject. --Finngall talk 21:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. No albums, no labels, no tours, no coverage. Myspace and a user-submission site are the only references. Not accaptable per WP:RS. Anecdotal evidence also inadmissible. DarkAudit (talk) 21:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:MUSIC - this is a puff piece. Pedro :  Chat  21:22, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per DarkAudit -Drdisque (talk) 22:27, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Article is unsourced and appears to be promotional WP:OR, no notability established, and no coverage in secondary sources given. Cirt (talk) 23:17, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 00:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to work with the author of this article, however when I attempted to find further information on this person to establish notability... i could not find any, apparently he plays in his parents garage and at school talent shows, he played once at a local battle of the bands which was attended by about 10k people... in which he came in 10th place and received no award, not even an honourable mention. His only references are free sites such as myspace and musicnation both of which are user created, and have absolutely no requirements of being notable whatsoever. The reason for keeping this article is so people can find information on him and "get to know him", which can be accomplished in a myspace blog, or a personal website rather than a wikipedia article and is much more appropriate for an up and coming YOUNG artist (He is only 16). So i digest,

  • 1. No notability any notability is a mere illusion
  • 2. References refer to user created pages that do not establish notability
  • 3. Any attempts to gather information to establish notability (Including my calling local stations and organizations in the area) failed, in fact most people i asked had no idea who he was and most thought i was prank calling them.
  • 4. There is no reason to believe that anywhere in the near future the person that is the subject of this article will gain any substantial notability.
  • 5. The information in this article is more appropriate of that of a webblog or a personal website.

In-case there is any confusion... I vote for the article Matt Cappadona To be deleted due to utter lack of everything that is needed to establish a valid Wikipedia article.
