Constested BLPPROD. Provided refs are basically self-published. Article creator has WP:COI - photo provided is listed as "own work Skinfill Enterprises" and posted by creator. Fails WP:NOTABILITY - GHits are all self-published or social networking type sites. No (as in zero) GNews/Books/Scholar hits. Fails WP:ENT. Promotional, failing WP:SPAM.

 * Comment - more information is at my talk page at the Jazz Magazine section. GregJackP (talk) 21:07, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Promotional with no indication of notability that I can see. Out of the four refs, I can only access one as I refuse to download the latest version of Flash merely to please web designers who insist on being flashy... That one is DreamCymbals, and I cannot find 'Carlos Skinfill' on the page cited (or in the list of artists). "one of the finest drummers in contemporary jazz and worship style,skilled clinician, producer,composer and arranger" is quite a claim - especially with no backup for it. Looking for ghits, I find FaceBook, twitter and the usual suspects. I did find another link to DreamCymbals, but following it got me rebuffed thus "You are not authorised to view this resource. You need to login.". Perhaps someone else can get some better refs and more info. As it stands, it fails the policies cited above. Peridon (talk) 19:09, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I will acknowledge him to be probably a better drummer than me - but I've not sat behind a kit for about eight years now. Peridon (talk) 19:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Delete No evidence of notability. None of the external links listed under the heading "references" is an independent source, and none except Carlos Skinfill's own website gives more than trivial coverage either. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:50, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment As the majority of the article was copied directly from the flash site you mentioned, it has now been trimmed down to a single-sentence non-infringing stub. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:23, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Delete - I see no proof of notability. I imagine the only reason this didn't get speedied is because of the back and forth copyvio issues. Ol Yeller Talktome 21:47, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
