[edit] Richard Dodd

Richard Dodd (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Speedy deletion requested and hang-on posted. Article does not appear to indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Procedural nomination appears to fail inclusion guidelines. --VS ^talk 09:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

• Allmusic lists quite a few credits[1], but a lot of them seem to be for other jobs so not the same guy. Maybe there's something there? --Dhartung | Talk 21:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

  There are 2 Richard Dodd(s) on the All Music Guide page. 1 is a producer/engineer, this page is for Richard Dodd, Cellist. That is a mistake on All music guide that they don't remedy. This notation of the 2 existing Richard Dodd(s) in the recording industry will be included, now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahleearebee (talk • contribs) 16:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep: Notable appearances, recording and contract with major label satisfies Notability AFAIC. Toddst1 (talk) 19:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
• Redirect To Section Quartet. TV appearances are unsourced, and if they're cameos they're non-notable at WP:MUSIC anyway. Doesn't seem to be mentioned in the articles about his other serious projects. Resume as a guest artist is impressive, but not justification for his own article. No solo projects, no international tours, no competitions mentioned. The only notable project he seems to have is the Section Quartet. SingCal 01:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• delete i could find no mention of him outside of the group he is in, which is not notable enough to justify a page for each article. Also, the subject seems to be the primary editor (User:Cellodick) --Asmodeus Samael (talk) 22:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, nothing substantial has turned up since my comment. --Dhartung | Talk 01:08, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

• Weak keep or redirect. This one's a bit tricky. The other Richard Dodd, as a Grammy winner, actually makes a better presumptive case for meeting WP:MUSIC. This Richard Dodd is a member of a clearly notable band, but he's dabbled in enough other stuff that I'm not convinced a redirect is the right answer. So, I lean towards keeping the article and seeing if the other stuff can be sourced. Also, a redirect might be confusing on the off chance that someone comes looking for info on the other Richard Dodd.--Kubigula (talk) 05:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
