This was originally a spam Speedy Delete candidate, which I chose to decline because I felt there was still encyclopedic material. I PRODed it instead as a way to get the original author to add some notability claims, but he merely deleted the PROD. The author's username is LC Franks (Lawson-Corey Franks?), which leads me to believe this is probably an autobiograpy, however that tag was also removed by the author. In short: this article makes claims of notability but it doesn't actually meet WP:MUSIC. L'Aquatique [  talk  ] 17:54, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I think you know where I’m going with this…a little kid in a studio with a million buttons to push, big mistake!! Corey’s interest in recording came long before his interest in actually singing. Never the less, here he is, at the top of his game! is that a joke or something?!  A Prodigy   ~In Pursuit of Perfection ~ 19:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * DELETE. I think your right, LC Franks does seem to be the man whose topic we're discussing. No notable links or references to be seen, just a load of useless ones to FaceBook and other websites. Neither are there topics for his band or recording company. Plus:
 * "It's off the chanklas for sure!" WTF? Spam, spam, spam. Best claim to notability is the top 30 on American Idol, but beyond that whether he's getting any traction or not is impossible to separate from the ... rather unique marketspeak in here. Delete Tony Fox (arf!) 20:14, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the nom, the spamspeak, the removal of templates without supplying the sources they requested, and the absence of proven notability. If the claims are true then the article probably scrapes by WP:N, but without citations it should be deleted. Ka renjc 20:31, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
