[edit] Reggie Sears

Non-notable. Originally speedy nominated A7 by me, and deleted by User:@pple. Article recreated with same content, then modified a bit. Still does not assert notability, does not seems notable. KTC (talk) 22:14, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Note - This article was also speedily deleted by User:Jreferee under A7 4 days before the above mentioned speedy deletion. KTC (talk) 22:18, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. That an unsourced notability assertion is in all-caps speaks volumes. --Blanchardb-Me^MyEars_MyMouth-timed 22:20, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Reggie is notable on the Southern Soul & Blues scene. He is only one in handful of artists that has helped put South Florida on the map of the Southern Soul Music scene. He is a internationally known recording artist. Please leave his page up. Please! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Guitarboy229 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but "Please, please" does not constitute a valid notability assertion. Does Reggie Sears fit one of the notability criteria for musicians as exposed in WP:MUSIC? Can you show a neutral source (that is, not a MySpace page or any page owned by Sears himself) that shows so? --Blanchardb-Me^MyEars_MyMouth-timed 22:54, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete all over again, either as A7 (no notability asserted) or G4 (repost). Take your pick, I've chosen the latter. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong delete, doesn't seem to be a notable artist, even though he can play a whole whack of instruments. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 23:16, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Note G4 only applies to XfD'd articles. Allow author/editor to bring up to standards while this AfD is ongoing. If not, it will be deleted & then then qualify for G4. SkierRMH (talk) 23:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Delete Not a notable artist per WP:MUSIC. User seems bent on creating the same article over and over in a short period of time. Since the user got a final warning before, suggest protecting page create and/or temporary ban. ZacBowling^talk 00:32, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Forget what I said, i didn't see the author comment above. ZacBowling^talk 00:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletions. -- the wub "?!" 13:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless he's shown to satisfy WP:MUSIC. My (very quick) Google search just didn't find any independent sources. Allmusic knows of one album only. Huon (talk) 16:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
