Antony Wolfson

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Musician not yet notable. GNews hits for "The singing policeman" seem to discover a different singing policeman, and searches for his name produce no relevant hits. Article in its current form is full of WP:WEASEL and is quite promotional, as well as having no references at all. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 12:57, 18 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - as WP:SPAM, and as a person with no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Claims of charting are rather exaggerated as it was on SoundClick which is a social media site for music, and they are not a recognized music chart.  None of the vague claims in the article can be sourced to a reliable source, as there is simply no reliable sources writing about him that I am able to find. -- Whpq (talk) 16:42, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

The City of London Police does indeed have a singing policeman called Antony Wolfson who has launched a single called So Do I which will be on worldwide release from 6 June 2011. This can be verified by Plaza Records www.plazarecords.net who is run by Roberto Danova. In addition he is being covered by the Jewish Chronicle and has had articles in the national newspaper. This can be verified by Robyn at the Jewish Chronicle. An iTunes search shows he has an album available to purchase. He has been working with the national corporate comms team at Victim Support and Claudine Piggott in the national office can be contacted to verify. Interest has been shown by BBC Radio 2, and Smooth FM in Antony Wolfson. He has recently broadcasted on Jnet radio to an estimated 2M listeners worldwide. Jnet Radio presenter Mike Segal at www.jnetradio.com can verify this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.137.45.109 (talk) 14:01, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Comment - Pretty spammy. Needs clean-up if retained, no opinion as to inclusion-worthiness. Carrite (talk) 00:26, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete reeks of self promotion and advertising, if he can be sourced properly keep but as it stands, delete.
 * Weak Delete A policeman singing for charity might be notable but the article lacks the proper sources (the entire article is copied & pasted from the myspace page ) and it also fails WP:MUS. Nimuaq (talk) 14:50, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Whpq. Vanity article of a on-notable 'musician'. Keb25 (talk) 21:10, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
