Albert Cooper (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local blues musician from Norwich, England. No indication of any national or international significance. The article lists details on a venue in the town that the artist has been involved with. No mention of a notable career in music that includes chart entries on notable tours. Any searches on the name come up with local results. Fails WP:MUSIC. Karst (talk) 09:35, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Save - Wikipedia includes mention of numerous American non-entities, famed for only hitting a ball with a stick and unknown out of their State/Nation. Cooper an integral part of British R'B & blues scene since late 1950's. A music promoter booking Paul Simon in early days Read the compliment Guy/Buddy Rich gave him. Fairly obvious there is no integral policy to proposing delete article, just spite and ignorance of anything outside of America. Norwikian (talk) 10:17, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * None of that says anything about Mr. Cooper or his relevance. Having something nice said about him by someone who has an article isn't itself a reason to have an article. There are lots and lots of policies that govern whether someone is notable or not, and if you can show that Mr. Cooper meets just one of those policies, then this is an easy keep. But responding to this deletion debate by criticizing other editors, Nominating two other Albert Coopers (here and here) for deletion, and angrily adding a local website as a reference here, while calling other editors "jealous and inept fuckers..." isn't going to convince anyone that Mr. Cooper is notable. It might end up getting you blocked from editing, which is a thing I guess, but it will do little for Mr. Cooper. So please, focus on the subject. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 18:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Save After checking WP:Music I feel Cooper meets some of the criteria as laid out. Northmetpit (talk) 10:53, 18 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as I have found nothing better and everything is still questionable for the needed notability. SwisterTwister   talk  21:26, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - All I'm seeing are 'local interest' type stories such as this, this, and this. From actually listening to his music (I unambiguously recommend this to everyone that comes across this message) and looking at various commentary about him, I understand his reputation as a talented local celebrity. He's, though, just still not notable in Wikipedia terms. His releases haven't charted nationally, his performances haven't received national news coverage, et cetera. I encourage people to talk about him someplace directly music-oriented such as Last.fm or the like, but for here, though, I think this page should be deleted.
