Azure Flame

Clear case of self-promotion Deb 18:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * How is it a clear case of self-promotion? Please elaborate. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk 20:52, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe deb meant WP:COI? -- Ben (talk) 21:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I don't see how it is a clear case of COI. There is a contributer in the history with a username of  User:Azureflame, but most of the article was written by one User:Dmmcclanahan.  How is that a conflict of interest? ~  ONUnicorn (Talk 21:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe since it looks like User:Dmmcclanahan is a single-purpose account? I don't see it either. Time for Deb to weigh in.-- Ben (talk) 21:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Does not meet WP:MUSIC. -- Ben (talk) 21:02, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - barely fails WP:MUSIC but it still fails, so delete. Jayden54 21:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * KeepShe's a popular singer, did a google search over 40,000 hits--TrulyUnited 22:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Further explanation: Firstly the 49000 Google hits you get when you search on "Azure Flame" are not actually for this singer - in fact, I could only find one or two that referred to her. Secondly, the user had not only created an article for the singer, but another under the name under which she wrote a book, another entry for her autobiography (which was self-published) and another for her album, which again has no notability. They had also created interwiki links, but when I checked, none of them existed on the other wikipedias. If I had spotted this article when it was first set up, I would have speedy deleted it.

 * Delete fails WP:MUSIC ≈Krasniy (talk 00:17, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I started an AfD for the EP associated with Azure Flame. Please see Calling Your Name.-- Ben (talk) 05:32, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:MUSIC, smells like a 'lets use Wikipedia for advertismnet' ploy.  SkierRMH, 08:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 02:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep While the article was a bit scattered, I saw little evidence of WP:COI other than an abundance of external links. The article does fall short of WP:MUSIC, although this artist does have some notability and national exposure. ≈derekwolfe 1:31, 19 December 2006
