Album Artists

Notability is not shown by the non-independent/passing mentions in the provided references and I can't find anything else significant, just more incidental mentions. The article appears to have been created for promotional purposes (see the original version, bloated with refs that don't mention the company). —S MALL JIM   10:42, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom -- this has been an issue from time to time with COI and paid editing. The article was started by User:Johnalexwood, who does at least state on his user page that he is a publicist with his own firm. He was also responsible for creating and maintaining articles for several other Scientologists, only one other of which ended up being kept, Christy Lee Rogers, who is a client of both John Alex Wood and Fraser Kee Scott, and should not actually have been kept considering the fact that there are no reliable secondary sources at all for that particular individual, with all information on Rogers available out there based on press releases and promotional items that Kee Scott and John Alex Wood distributed to media, both in the UK and abroad. It gets even more convoluted beyond that with a bunch of articles here that they are responsible but for which I haven't had time to gather any data or evidence, so as far as this article goes, short story is that John Alex Wood, a publicist, started the article using sources that mention neither Album Artists or Fraser Kee Scott, not even in passing. Obviously that is deliberate misuse and misrepresentation of sources, which in and of themselves are not particularly useful since they are entirely based on press releases, with the sole exception of an interview or two with a band like Coldplay, with not a single one of them mentioning Album Artists or Fraser Kee Scott. It is impossible to verify any of his claims, and when pressed for such evidence (off-wiki, by others in the media), he has used a photo of himself with the band, which doesn't in and of itself prove anything. None of the media outlets, including the gossip rags, haev printed any of the claims Kee Scott made in this article by John Alex Wood. Laval (talk) 09:59, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete There are three references in the current revision that do nothing to establish notability. #1 only peripherally mentions Album Artists as an "inspirational art company" but provides no factual information other than that Fraser Scott is its director.  #2 directs to the Album Artists' website, and mentions that "Fraser … runs Album Artists". #3 is a wikilink to World Institute of Scientology Enterprises. Note that  for the first two sources is not a reliable source, nor is wikipedia, which is used for source #3. Mduvekot (talk) 21:26, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
