Please don't delete this page Charlie Souza - It is all fact backed by many sources! Google — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charliesouza (talk • contribs) 18:09, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I recommend you first become familiar with WP:COI and understand the reasons for that guideline. In my view this editing, which is clearly a COI, is not necessarily prohibited according to the guideline, but is strongly discouraged.


 * If you would still like to maintain this page after familiarizing yourself with WP:COI, then I would next read WP:GNG and subpages related to this topic. You'll need "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."  Right now the Charlie Souza webpage has no references linking to such sources.  Also, you may want to be more careful with spelling, grammar, and overall formatting.  Poorly written articles stand out are are more likely to be tagged for deletion (for instance, you should probably capitalize 'Souza' in the name of the page!!) See WP:STYLE.  I'm not trying to be a jerk about it, but if you aren't familiar with these policies, and you are trying to write a page about yourself, then it will surely be deleted.


 * I'm not going to vote on this one, because right now it is obviously a COI and violates WP:SPIP. I do, however, think that the page might have potential if written properly, from a neutral point of view.

 * Keep - I had a look at this article, have added some RS (reviews, interviews, pages of other musicians who have played with Souza), tidied up the article a bit, and added a link to verify the song contest prize. I haven't rewritten the article to take the new citations into account but think there is enough notability here to justify keeping the article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:56, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - I declined to vote above, but since a third-party editor has cleaned up the article I don't see WP:COI or WP:SPIP being much of a problem. A quick search makes me think that there is enough substance out there to meet WP:MUSICBIO, kudos to Chiswick Chap for finding it.  MisterRichValentine    (talk)  20:06, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
