Cask Thomson

[edit]
AfDs for this article:
Cask Thomson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Previously deleted via AfD. This new version does not appear to establish notability any better than the previous article. No evidence of meeting any of the criteria set forth in WP:MUSIC, and no WP:RS indicating subject meets WP:GNG. Kinu t/c 20:35, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – Appears to have substantially less information and sources than the previous incarnation. Article makes no new claims of importance since the last AFD. Subject still has yet to meet notability guidelines. Fezmar9 (talk) 22:26, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Your right Cask performed with Stan Walker during his 2010 tour and I saw him as a guest artist with Powerhouse Retreat in Central Coast, Australia. You will also find that he has done a few charity appearances with the Parramatta Eels this year. Most of the proof that can back up these claims will be found in Eternity magazine and numerous Drum Media and Australian Prog magazine issues. (Also to the user after the post above me, its "Keep" not "Opposed" to defend an article) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.33.235.150 (talk) 14:46, 10 March 2011 (UTC) — username (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Comment to those voting keep – Please review the nominator's reasons for deleting this article before submitting your argument. Please explain why Cask Thompson meets the criteria at both WP:GNG and WP:BAND, and support your claims using reliable third-party published sources. Having a biographical article entirely supported by social networking and first-party sources literally suggests that Cask Thomson is important because Cask Thomson says so.

  • Delete: I'm with Fezmar ... the SPAs advocating Keep are expounding some startling reasons for their stance. That they've seen the guy perform? That he's done charity appearances? Beats me, but a quick glance at Google Australia gives his top rated hits as this article, his MySpace page, his Twitter page, his eBay page, his website, the user-inputted setlist.fm, the user-inputted songlyrics.com, his YouTube site and his Facebook site, in that order. A Google News Australia search turns up ZERO hits. Certainly this guy is hell-on-wheels as a self-promoter, but before the article can be kept, the SPAs suggesting that reliable sources certifying his notability exist must produce those sources. Period.  Ravenswing  20:18, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - Large background of support by Guitar manufactures and accessory manufacturers, seems to have a dependent following with Australian radio Today FM and Hope 103.2 and his music videos have appeared on Rage on ABC Television. Seems to confirm some sort of notability —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.33.227.71 (talk) 14:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC) — 110.33.227.71 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Please note The definition of notability here is that contained in Wikipedia's policies, not in your dictionary. Please look at the WP: things people have been quoting to you - these are the policies and definitions that are used here. If you show that you are understanding these, and show how you think the article complies with them, more notice will be taken of your posts. Notability doesn't 'trickle down'. Touring with someone notable, or playing for someone notable, does not necessarily make one notable oneself. MySpace is not regarded as a reliable source, and you will find more details about what are and aren't in WP:RS. I am remaining neutral and hope you will listen to me, and I have completed a sentence in the last paragraph that was hanging. Please check it to see if I've got it right.

  • Delete - Article devotes much space to mentioning the artists' sponsors, but not to establishing notability. The subject does not appear to meet the applicable notability guidelines as mentioned by the nominator. VQuakr (talk) 19:48, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - insufficient coverage in reliable sources to pass the notability guidelines. Nothing significant appears to have changed since the last AFD. Robofish (talk) 01:51, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Neither of the sources you added are reliable (one is actually a Wikipedia mirror). VQuakr (talk) 05:42, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
