[edit] Tim LaRoche
Delete - does not appear to meet the WP:BAND criteria Oscarthecat 17:19, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as nonnotable. Whoop-dee-doo, he appeared on a major television program! So did I (seriously). YechielMan 18:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Delete- per Yechiel. Eddie 20:50, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Keep- he does meet the WP:BAND criteria. Criteria for musicians and ensembles point 9) Has won or placed in a major music competition". Out of the thousands of people who tried for the contest he was one of the 10 finalists. 20:01, 19 June 2007 (EST)— Thenetimp (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Weak keep I think that it is notable enough to pass WP:BIO; however, needs some major cleanup and references added before becoming acceptable. — Wenli 03:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete - appears to be written by individual in question. --Zpb52 23:40, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- So why can't an individual write their own profile if they are living, wouldn't they have the most facts about themselves? Seems like a lame reason for a speedy delete. He did write the text, but I was the one who created the profile. The current text is more of a place holder until I can meet with him to iron out a better profile. 1:35, 21 June 2007 (EST)— Thenetimp (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- OK, fair enough, just for the record, this profile is 90% something he wrote, (I added what information I knew), I can say from what I know of him (i've been his friend for 15 years), that the text is accurate. And to quote the link gave to autobiographies "Writing autobiographies is highly discouraged. It is not impossible to write a neutral, verifiable autobiography, and they are not strictly forbidden." and "However, every Wikipedia article must cover its subject in a neutral, fair, and comprehensive way in order to advance knowledge of the subject as a whole." The article in my opinion is quite neutral. It gives some basic facts about who he is, and his goals. Very neutral. I am in the process of looking at other bios(for format) to write something that is more informative, but in the end a bulk of this text that is here may not even exist in the final biography. 21:16, 12 June 2007 (EST)— Thenetimp (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
