[edit] Solomon Keal

The article was created and primarily edited by 69.137.236.54 who admits that he is the subject: Talk:Solomon_Keal. Clearly vanity and I fail to see the importance or notability of the subject. Google search [1] brings up nothing notable, but the first two hits are the official website and the unofficial fan site...curiously, both of which are registered to the same person as a whois search will show. Clearly this is vanity/spam by someone who is attempting to spread his name all over the internet. IrishGuy talk 00:04, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and also delete his two albums (listed in the article) Completely, amazingly non-notable; admitted vanity, and as such, highly POV; almost a speedy candidate, but there are very slight claims of importance. -- Kicking222 00:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Also, the article uses intrawiki links to tons of famous people in an attempt to assert notability, but of course, it's not as if this guy has ever worked with (or even met) any of said people. And then there's that whole "he registered his own fansite" thing that Irishguy brought up; that's not a case for deletion, it's just really shady. -- Kicking222 00:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

The shadiness is rampant. The two websites (official and unofficial) are registered to Stephen Simons [2] and [3]...who is the only person to review Solomon Keal's Thoughts and Affections album on CD Baby [4]. His other album, Heritage, also has only one review [5]...and the reviewer is Keal's father-in-law [6]. 69.137.236.54 has also been spamming Wiki with links about his religious sect: [7].

First off, that's some amazing research, my man. Well done. Second of all, this guy is... well, I'm not going to say anything bad about him. However, he should get a very stern warning or a short-term block. -- Kicking222 02:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
