Tagged for speedy deletion but some notability is asserted. Still, the article looks spammish. Procedural nomination. Pascal.Tesson 02:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I would prefer to see more reliable sources here, indeed, I think the first link is broke. Neverthless, I think the material sufficiently asserts notability and should be kept around.  Jody B   talk 02:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Basically a promising student. May well become notable but not there yet. If we had articles on every music student WP would become unmanageable IMO. -- Kleinzach 02:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete definately not there yet---he may be talented, but he is not there yet.Balloonman 03:49, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete: Lara completed his Masters in Music in 2006 - Let's give him some more time to work on notability. Ante  lan  talk  04:05, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article apppears to include enough non-trivial references from reliable sources to prove notability. --Eastmain 05:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Were a topical article and not a WP:BIO, I'd agree, but given that it's about a living entertainer, I don't think he quite makes the cut yet. Ante  lan  talk  08:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, per above + possible WP:COI. I also put the speedy deletion template on the article before, and the creator removed it, which is against policies.--Svetovid 08:46, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Washington-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 08:48, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep...asserts notability, has RS. Svetovid, the speedy was then explicitly declined by a third-party editor, so the creator's improper action is now moot. DMacks 16:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Meets WP:Notability guidelines. Needs more sources.--Edtropolis 16:41, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. While WP:MUSIC states that wining an important competition makes someone notable, this candidate was "Tulsa regional finalist".  Basically, it's way too soon in this guy's career to know whether he'll make it.  After he's made it, we'll write an article.  semper fictilis 20:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete he is not yet a regular performer: "one of the 11 talented singers chosen to train with the Seattle Opera Young Artists Company for twenty weeks." DGG 22:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - per all of the above. Eddie  00:44, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - come on, if this fellow was a rap star we'd be saying "You're 'aving a laugh, mate". This is no different. He does not pass WP:MUSIC, period. May do some day, but not now. Moreschi Talk 17:52, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
