[edit] Roland Clark

Although the subject could be considered notable, the entire article is so over-the-top POV and hagiographical towards the subject that all there is for it is to scrap it and start anew. Pat Payne 17:22, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Withdrawn as there's no need for it now. Pat Payne 23:12, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Userfy it into the author's space for improvement. Additionally, this article sounds as if it were copied from another source. Deleting the POV in this article would leave maybe a line of information. As much as I liked his singing in Fatboy Slim's "Song for Shelter", this article needs a major overhaul before it belongs in articlespace. Kuzaar 18:01, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The nom is self-defeating by stating that the subject is notable. In this case it needs rewriting, not deleting - even if all that is left is one line. A badly-written article on a valid subject is not grounds for deleting of the subject altogether. Tyrenius 18:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Don't know about his notability but I've NPOV'd it. Dlyons493 Talk 18:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • At this point I withdraw my AfD. I overreached in the matter and apologize. Pat Payne 20:29, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
  • No problem - it's quite obvious you were acting in good faith. Tyrenius 22:36, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
