Lewis Marklin Mash

This autobiography (penned by Lewismash (talk · contribs), currently blocked) is about a subject that does not meet WP:BIO. The primary claim to notability is ADHDtv, which appears to fail WP:N (as argued in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ADHDtv). This AfD is separate from ADHDtv because this subject also claims production credits on other shows and a library of rap albums, listed in the article and the IMDB profile. These accomplishments, however, appear to each lack encyclopedic notability and their combination doesn't rise to the level of overcoming a distinct lack of external coverage from reliable sources. Google searches for "MARQ-E" rap, "Lewis Marklin Mash" and "Lew Marklin" do not reveal secondary coverage in reliable sources. — Scientizzle 15:37, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable personality with questionable references (Polticially Incorrect never had musical guests, much less a musical segment, and the "Rick Dees" TV show from twenty years ago was not known for being well-viewed or for show guest appeal) and claims of employment with ABC and the Dodgers are unable to be verified (and if they are, likely only as freelance work), along with claim of video presentation in Baseball Hall of Fame. Music career also seems questionable. (Apologies for not being more specific with this vote as article editor has made threats against me for my ADHDtv AfD position, so I'm being more neutral with my wording for a delete vote than usual).

Delete. Clearly a vanity page aimed at free self-promotion of a non-notable actor. The sources provided do not convince me otherwise.--Atlan (talk) 11:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per lack of independent reliable sources. I'll grant the fellow is a prolific producer, screenwriter, and actor... but no one else seems to have noticed except himself. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 20:14, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
