Alex Alexander is looking for employment, and is under the impression that WP will host an advertisement with a link to his website. Delete as advertising or vanity or both. -- Hoary 09:48, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

 * Delete. Lacks encyclopedic quality and person is not notable. Oneliner 10:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong delete. Ugh, do I even have to say? jglc | t | c 15:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Stop for a second. It's clear this page is vanity and advertisment, which in itself warrants deletion.  However, the subject of the article has a pretty impressive legit resume, and gets more than 5000 google hits with "Alex Alexander" + drum . There are three times as much without "drum," however it is clear that not all of them are the subject (but also of note, the search with "drum" omits Alexander's own website, so a real number is hard to pin down).  This should be userfied if possible with instructions as to why, or it should be cleaned up, expanded, and de-spammed.  For now, I abstain.  --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 19:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: An article might be possible with proper capitalization, etc., but this is a CV, so we might as well clear the brush away to allow the strong plant to grow (if it can be planted by a 3rd party). Geogre 19:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, advertisement. --Carnildo 21:27, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a copyvio of his webpage and has been reported as such. There may be a case for him to have an article as he is a member of Dido's band and performed music for a film called Whatever Happened to One-eyed Jimmy starring Steve Buscemi, John Turturro and Samuel L. Jackson. However, it would be best to start afresh if someone was inclined to do so. Capitalistroadster 01:44, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Has now been marked as copyvio. &mdash; Phil Welch 01:56, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
