Adam Scone

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Notability for this musician is not reliably and independently shown. No sources provided other than the artist's own web page, which is not considered a reliable source. Can't find anything else aside from simple album/track listings in online stores, plus a brief blurb in an organ manufacturer's ad. This has been tagged for having no refs for two years now. I'm open to reconsideration if some sources can be found, but I'm coming up short, so I think it's time to delete this article since notability cannot be independently shown. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:26, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Adam Scone is a respected jazz session musician who, along with his personal projects, has worked with big names in the music world such as Bernard Purdie cool lesson and Sharon Jones (singer). He is also a member of the The Sugarman 3, a project started out by Neal Sugarman who is another session musician who played and recorded with people such as Robin Williams, Amy Winehouse and Lilly Allen. Whoever submitted this article for deletion clearly doesn't have a grasp on wikipedia's notability criteria for both bands and musicians.-- Mecanismo | Talk 23:20, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The above editor and myself are currently involved in a very contentious debate over whether The Sugarman 3 should be speedy deleted. He is citing the existence of the Adam Scone article as a reference to prove the group's notability, but of course, Wikipedia articles cannot be used as sources for other Wikipedia articles. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:24, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not. Adam Scone is simply an article being linked from Sugarman Three, an article which user Realkyhick has marked for speedy deletion although it meets at least 3 notability criteria. In fact, I suspect the user Realkyhick has marked this article for deletion as an attempt to retaliate the cancelation of his speedy deletion attempt. -- Mecanismo | Talk 23:31, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Last I checked, it hasn't been canceled, and you specifically cited the link to this article as support for the notability of the band on that article's talk page - otherwise I might not have ever found this article. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:36, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are confused. I didn't used this article as any support fro the notability. That wouldn't make any sense, as no one nor anything is more notable for having a wikipedia article. Yet, it appears you are desperately trying to attack sugarman three's notability (personal attacks and threads didn't cut it?) by trying to attack any article which is remotely related to it, such as Adam Scone, even if you have to ignore or even violate wikipedia's policy on notability assertion. -- Mecanismo | Talk 23:45, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And I quote your words directly from the Sugarman 3 talk page: "Didn't you noticed the link to an article on a band's member?" Since Scone is the only band member linked, he is the only one you could possibly be talking about. For the rest of you, see Talk:The Sugarman 3. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:51, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While it verifiable is a working Jazz musician who has played in various groups or venues, I have been unable to find any significant coverage of him, or any other evidence of meeting WP:MUSICBIO. If anyone demonstrates that, happy to change my views. ^Bongo_matic 00:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Don't think this qualifies as a speedy. Verifiability does exist, but I could not find any significant sources for this musician, no evidence that he meets WP:MUSICBIO.—Sandahl (♀) 00:34, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this musician. Joe Chill (talk) 01:24, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm not finding any reliable sources that provide significant coverage for this person, though if it can be verified that he's been a member of JJ Grey & MOFRO (he is credited on at least two of their albums [1][2], and some of these pages--along with the band's website--appear to suggest he was a member), then he would satisfy criterion 6 of WP:MUSICBIO as he is also a member of The Sugarman 3.
