Delete nomination: recreation of material previously deleted (31st March 2007) Fails WP:MUSIC) Pete.Hurd 22:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete since it's a re-creation of previously deleted material. If nothing else, WP:CSD#A7 applies. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 22:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - Speedy don't apply. Not AFD. The Evil Spartan 23:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
    • How does Speedy not apply if this is a recreation of previously deleted material? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 23:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
      • The original deletion seems to have been via a WP:PROD (I'm not sure, I prod'ed the redirect page Patrick de Meyer back in April after the article in question was deleted, see record of some discussion here). As far as I understand, since the original deletion was not via AfD, it does not necessarily have the force of the community consensus, and therefore CSD-G4 doesn't apply (as is explained at WP:CSD#G4).

• Delete, trivial credits, no bio at Allmusic. Fails WP:MUSIC. Pete Hurd is correct, an article must be deleted via an XfD process to be eligible for speedy G4. --Dhartung | Talk 05:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - I would like to contest the deletion of this page. I feel that the page ought to be left based upon WP:Notability (music). It fulfils rule 6 for musicians as he has:

   Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.

- These bands were T99 - which as you can see charted in several countries and Technotronic - for whom he played synthesiser on their eponymous album Pump Up the Jam: The Album - which also charted around the world. In this manner he also fulfils rule 5 which states

   Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

In T99 and technotronic as a composer he fulfils rule 1 for the criteria for composers which states

   Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a musician or ensemble that qualifies above, a notable theatre, or has been taken up by a musician or ensemble that qualifies above.

Finally I would like to point you towards all music guide - [1] where we can see the songs he has composed. If you browse them you see that he has composed many songs that have appeared on later compilations. This is why I feel he should not be deleted. I could not defend it before being fairly new to wikipedia, hence it was deleted, now that I have been on a while I feel better able to defend the pages I create. - - Curious Gregor^TALK 11:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• • In terms of composing All Music Guide [2] lists him as composer of Anasthasia by T99 - thus improving his ranking as composer notability. - - Curious Gregor^TALK 11:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
