Talk:Alistair Griffin

Untitled
this article is packed with POV. it's like a massive ad for him. "a knack for writing catchy songs"? "outstanding songwriting ability"? surely matter of opinion? this is an encyclopaedia, it's meant to contain the facts. this is a fan page. --172.189.7.214 19:41, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I have tidied this article up and toned the language down a bit. Although it is a little lengthy all the factual information appears to be correct and can be verified from the sources given - his songs have been described as "catchy" in several of the album reviews. The BBC news article also makes reference to his songwriting ability and 4 of his songs have been top 20 hits in the UK and the Netherlands. His official fansite has almost 7000 registered members and does seem to be constantly active.Jud 23:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

This article of a former Fame Academy contestant does not appear to be notable on wikipedia. Its uncited, far too detailed, peacocky and riddled with POV.

He has released two singles in his career yet he occupies more space on wikipedia than Brett Anderson, Ian McCulloch, Mick Hucknall, Bobby Gillespie, Tim Burgess, Jay Kay etc, i could go on all night. I'll nominate this for deletion as i think its like an advert, as the user mentioned above back in February 2006. I can't believe a singer with a discography of two singles in six years has been allowed to advertise himself in very much conceited article full of bias, peacocky terms and weasal vocabulary.PhilOak (talk) 02:45, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
