Adrian Provost

Non-notable individual lacking Ghits and GNEWs of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO.  ttonyb (talk) 02:56, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, dubious biospam, as are the related pages created by a sock account: Life Juice, The Provost Group, Provost Living & Entertainment, Southeast Power, and Benefit Arno, which are all up for speedy. Hairhorn (talk) 04:20, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable. Before PROD tagging it, I made a good-faith search for sources without finding anything at all that met WP:BIO. --bonadea contributions talk 06:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment A number of footnotes with references have been added, but those that are accessible through the web rather strengthen the impression of lack of notability; most of them don't mention Provost and the two that do are trivial mentions. None of the references that I have been able to look at actually verifies the information they are supposed to be sources for - and as for the print sources, some of them are clearly irrelevant (for instance a 2006 source supposed to verify facts about the years after 2006, including the text Provost got his big break in the year 2011 however when he released his first official single Show Stopper). It's not unusual to see enthusiastic article creators adding every minor mention of things that are vaguely related to the subject of the article as references, and I'm assuming that's what is going on here. In any case the references don't appear to be relevant, which is what matters in this discussion. --bonadea contributions talk 09:05, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
 * After wading through the list of refs, I agree with that, Bonadea.Kudpung (talk) 05:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
