[edit] Patch (artist)

I believe this page should be deleted for the following reasons:

1. Lack of notability: a Google search using the artist's birth name and pseudonym uncovers only one article; a broader search reveals 103 pages, but it does not appear that many of those (if any) are connected to the article in question.

2. The article is written poorly (while not quite unreadable, it's clearly written by a non-native english speaker) -- not, in itself, a reason to delete the article, but because the article is about an individual from a country that has few native English speakers, I suspect that it is a simple vanity page.

3. There is only one article (the Patch disambig page) that links to the article in question.

I'm generally a mild inclusionist, but this seemingly-vane article clearly lacks notability. Should be a simple decision. (Also, those Google searches were conducted both in any language, and in Finnish-only. Similar lack-of-results both ways.) AnDrew McKenzie 04:01, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
